Musculus Adductor Brevis is a term commonly used in anatomy and physiology, referring to a specific muscle in the human body.

MUSCULUS ADDUCTOR BREVIS Meaning and Definition

1. Musculus Adductor Brevis, also known as the Adductor Brevis muscle, is a small, triangular muscle located in the inner part of the thigh. It is one of the muscles responsible for adduction, which is the movement of bringing a limb or body part toward the midline of the body.

   The adductor brevis muscle originates from the inferior pubic ramus, which is a bony structure in the pelvis. It then inserts onto the upper part of the linea aspera, a prominent ridge on the posterior surface of the femur (thigh bone). The muscle lies deep to other adductor muscles, such as the adductor longus and adductor magnus.

   The primary function of the adductor brevis muscle is to help in adduction of the leg, meaning it pulls the thigh inward toward the other leg. It also assists in stabilizing the pelvis during movements such as walking or running.

   The adductor brevis muscle receives its nerve supply from the obturator nerve, one of the major nerves in the lower limbs.

   Injuries to the adductor brevis muscle can occur due to sudden movements, overuse, or sports-related activities. Common symptoms of adductor brevis muscle injuries include pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the inner thigh area. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate pain and promote healing.

2. Origin, superior ramus of pubis; insertion, upper third of inner lip of linea aspers; nerve supply, obturator; action, adducts thigh.
