Was ist der adductor longus?
Der Musculus adductor longus ist ein zu den Oberschenkeladduktoren gehörender Skelettmuskel an der Innenseite des Oberschenkels.
Welches sind die Adduktoren?
Die Oberschenkeladduktoren, auch einfach „Adduktoren“ genannt, sind eine Muskelgruppe auf der Medialseite des Oberschenkels. Der Name dieser Muskelgruppe leitet sich von ihrer Hauptfunktion, der Adduktion ab – der Heranführung des Oberschenkels.
Was ist adductor magnus?
Der Musculus adductor magnus gehört zur Muskelgruppe der Oberschenkeladduktoren und liegt auf der Medialseite des Oberschenkels.
Wo ist der Adductor?
Die Adduktorenmuskulatur besteht aus sechs Muskeln. Sie befinden sich alle an der Oberschenkelinnenseite. Ihre Funktion ist, die Oberschenkel oder vielmehr die Beine zur Körpermitte zu führen. Das nennt sich Adduktion.
What is the pectineus muscle?
The Pectineus Muscle is a small muscle in the inner thigh that brings the leg back towards the body. It is often overstretched in many sports but will heal on its own with time and the appropriate treatment. The Pectineus belongs to both the anterior and medial compartments of the leg.
What is the pectineus antagonist?
As well, the Pectineus is involved in movements such as crossing the legs or the ankle, as they require both flexion and adduction of the thigh. The Pectineus antagonist is the Gluteus Maximus. An antagonist muscle is one that contracts as the other relaxes. So, as the Pectineus contracts, the Gluteus Maximus relaxes.
Does pectineus have its own fascial border?
Although the adductor (medial) compartment to which pectineus belongs doesn’t have its own fascial border to separate it from the anterior and posterior compartments, it is still described separately due to common function and muscular innervation of its constituents. Pectineus is predominately innervated by the femoral nerve (L2, L3).
How many compartments does the pectineus have?
Due to having dual innervation, pectineus is one of a few muscles classified into two compartments at the same time; anterior and medial. The others being adductor longus and adductor magnus. For didactic purposes, pectineus is usually described together with the five muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh.
