APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The adductor brevis is a muscle in the thigh situated immediately deep to the pectineus and adductor longus. It belongs to the adductor muscle group.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hip adductors are a group of five muscles located in the medial compartment of the thigh. These muscles are the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus. Due to their position, the hip adductors shape the surface anatomy of the medial thigh.

Detailed explanation-3: -adductor muscle, any of the muscles that draw a part of the body toward its median line or toward the axis of an extremity (compare abductor muscle), particularly three powerful muscles of the human thigh-adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The adductor longus is a large, fan-shaped muscle located in the medial aspect of the thigh. It belongs to the adductors of the thigh, together with adductor brevis, adductor magnus, pectineus and gracilis muscles. Adductor longus is innervated by the anterior division of the obturator nerve (L2-L4).
