APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The adductor group (adductor brevis, longus, and magnus along with petineus and gracilis) moves the femur towards the midline from an abducted position. The iliopsoas group of muscles (iliacus and psoas major) is responsible for hip flexion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abduction/Adduction A movement of the body part back toward the midline (i.e., to the anatomical position) is known as adduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abduction moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body, while adduction is the opposing movement that brings the limb toward the body or across the midline.

Detailed explanation-4: -The adductor muscle group, also known as the groin muscles, is a group located on the medial side of the thigh. These muscles move the thigh toward the body’s midline. Included in this group are the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, pectineus, and gracilis muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -The trapezius and serratus anterior muscles work in tandem to coordinate rotation and movement of the scapula to accommodate the full range of motion of the arm.
