adductor longus

An adductor muscle that attaches to the hip and femur. In humans, it is a part of the adductor group of the thigh, that as the name suggests adducts the thigh. The adductor longus muscle forms the medial wall of the femoral triangle[WP, generalized]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the adductor longus connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of hindlimb stylopod, hip and musculature of hip.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the adductor longus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
