Adductor longus muscle (3D)

This tutorial explores the anatomy and functions of the adductor longus muscle, a key muscle in the medial thigh. It covers the muscle's anatomy, including its triangular shape and location, its innervation by the obturator nerve, and its attachment sites. The tutorial also discusses the muscle's functions, such as adduction, flexion, and external rotation of the thigh, and its role in activities like crossing legs and kicking. The video concludes with a summary of these key points.
