@anatomy.of.motion: The core group of adductors consists of four muscles connecting the pelvis to the femur. Because they so closely overlap, understanding their exact placement from the front view can be difficult. A much better approach is to dig into them from the back. The first and most dominant structure is the Adductor Magnus. This thick powerful muscle, spans almost the entire length of the femur, essentially forming a wall that overshadows the others beneath it. Once we remove the Magnus, three smaller adductors reveal themselves in a neat sequence. Starting from the bottom, we find the Adductor Longus. Directly above it lies the shorter Adductor Brevis. And sitting at the very top is the smallest of the group, the Adductor Minimus. From the back, it looks like these muscles stack one on top of the other. However, shifting to an upper-front perspective reveals their true arrangement: they actually start at nearly the same height on the femur, but are layered at different depths. Together, these four muscles form the structural core of the adductors.
