Medial Compartment Of Thigh/Adductors Flashcards
Originates from superior pubic ramus (pectineal line of pubis) and inserts into pectineal line of femur and linear aspera
Pectineus
Originates from anterior surface of body of pubis in the angle between pubic crest and pubic symphysis
Inserts onto medial lip of linea aspera
Adductor Longus
Originates from anterior surface of body of pubis and outer surface of inferior rami of pubis
Inserts into medial lip of linear aspera
Adductor brevis
Originates from anterior surface of body of pubis and inferior pubic ramus
Inserts onto medial surface of proximal tibia via pas anserinus tendon
Gracilis
ADDUCTOR HEAD- Originates from inferior pubic ramus and ischial ramus
