📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Adductor Group (Longus/Brevis/Magnus)
Medial thigh muscles. Primary hip adductors. Group entry retained for backward compatibility. See individual adductor entries for detailed anatomy.
Draft95%
Anatomy
- Origin
- Pubic bone (various surfaces for each muscle)
- Insertion
- Linea aspera of femur (longus/brevis); linea aspera and adductor tubercle (magnus)
- Action
- Hip adduction; magnus also assists hip extension and flexion depending on fiber direction
- Innervation
- Obturator nerve (L2-L4); hamstring portion of magnus: tibial nerve (L4-S1)
- Blood Supply
- Medial circumflex femoral artery, obturator artery, perforating branches of profunda femoris
