Gracilis Muscle Anatomy The gracilis muscle is a long, thin muscle found in the thigh’s medial (adductor) compartment. Along with the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and pectineus muscles, it is a member of the adductor muscle group. The most superficial hip adductor, the gracilis, lies on top of the other four. Although it…
Adductor Magnus Muscle details The adductor magnus muscle is a large triangular muscle of the lower limb, with its apex situated on the hip bone, and its base on the linea aspera of the femur.
