Answers:
In human anatomy, the adductor muscles of the hip is a group of muscles of the hip!. The adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus make up the adductor group!. The pectineus and gracilis have a similar action, and are also part of the medial compartment of thigh, but aren't usually considered part of the adductor group!. The adductors all originate on the pubis and insert on the medial, posterior surface of the femur!. The gracilis inserts just below the medial condyle of the tibia!. They are supplied by the obturator nerve!. For Abductor muscles, flexor muscles, and extensor muscles, see the link below!.
