	Gracilis Muscle Flap
		The gracilis muscle is long and thin, tapering from its widest point superiorly to a tendinous insertion on the medial knee inferiorly.
		The muscle is innervated by the anterior branch of the obturator nerve, itself a branch of the lumbar plexus.
		The fascial attachments of the adductor longus to the adductor magnus are freed superior and inferior to the pedicle and the adductor longus is retracted away from the magnus.

	adductor muscle injuries
		In all patients, the torn muscle was retracted in an anterior and superior direction and an arthroscopic lateral release was performed followed by open primary repair of the medial patellofemoral ligament to the adductor tubercle and repair of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle to the adductor magnus tendon.
		To reinnervate the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (abductor), a phrenic nerve graft was anastomosed to the main trunk of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
		Symptomatic injuries of the adductor muscles are uncommon and are not to be confused scintigraphically with a stress fracture of the proximal femoral shaft.

	Comparison of biochemical composition and muscle hypertrophy associated with the reproductive cycle of diploid and ...
		Triploids had 123% higher adductor muscle weight than diploid scallops at the end of the sampling period, and most of this increased gain was a result of adductor muscle cell size (hypertrophy), and not cell number (hyperplasia).
		Muscle carbohydrates were significantly larger in triploid scallops, which suggests decreased transference of carbohydrates form muscle to gonad in triploid sterile organisms.
		Adductor muscle and gonad weight were recorded from July 2000 to the end of the study in March 2001.

	adductor magnus \| lower back pain \| strained hamstring injuries \| treatment
		The muscles responsible for this action are of course the hamstrings and the gluteal muscle group, but more importantly for the scope of this paper, the adductor magnus also plays a significant role in this movement.
		Gluteal releases are performed with the patient side lying with the hips in flexion, and direct elbow pressure applied to the taut 'bands' felt through the gluteals, particularly the posterior fibres of the gluteus medius.
		Deep releases of this muscle produced marked discomfort locally in the muscle, and after a few minutes pain began to refer down the medial hamstrings with visible 'twitches' of the muscle.

		Muscle contraction and relaxation are controlled by the concentration of calcium ions within the muscle cell.
		I am studying calcium ion transport across muscle membranes, and the properties of actin and myosin using material from the cross striated adductor muscle of the scallop.
		It is possible to prepare the SR from the scallop muscle in a form where the calcium pump protein molecules in the membrane are arranged in a highly ordered fashion, while retaining their enzymatic activity.

	eMedicine - Adductor Strain : Article by Bruce B Fry, DO
		Muscle strain injury has been characterized as occurring in response to forcible stretching of a muscle, most commonly while the muscle is activated.
		An extreme amount of stress is placed on the adductor tendons when, because of the athlete's momentum, a large amount of force is applied to one side in the sagittal plane and the adductor muscles must contract rapidly to shift the force to the opposite direction.
		Coactivation of the abdominal muscles and the adductor muscles is a useful and functional exercise.

		The adductor pollicis muscle was also studied in the human anatomy lab as well as in normal healthy volunteers using CAT scans and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to ensure that only the adductor pollicis was included in measurement of muscle thickness with a Lange caliper.
		It is worth mentioning that measuring the adductor muscle with a plastic adipometer was reason for disagreement among 4 examiners, who observed that the use of the Lange caliper is mandatory.
		The thickness of the adductor pollicis muscle was standardized in 421 healthy adult subjects, with results varying according to gender, age, and frame size.

	Adductor muscle definition - Healthy Living: Living a healthy lifestyle for disease prevention on MedicineNet.com
		Adductor muscle: Any muscle that pulls a body part toward the midline.
		For example, the adductor muscles of the legs pull the legs toward the midline of the body so the legs are closer together.
		The word "adductor" comes from the Latin prefix "ad" meaning "toward" + "ducere" meaning "to draw or lead" = "to draw toward." The opposite of "adductor" is "abductor." An adductor muscle opposes an abductor muscle.

		The term describes a strain of the adductor muscles that are located on the inside of the thigh.
		The injury usually occurs when the muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue tears.
		A tear in a muscle is referred to as a strain and, depending on its severity, is classified as a first, second or third degree strain.

		The adductor muscles allow the mussel to open and or close its shell.
		When the adductor muscles are relaxed, they allow the two shells to open.
		When the adductor muscles are contracted, they close the shell, making it hard for predators to open the shell and eat the mussel.

	UltRunR - Hip Adductor
		The "ab" is from the Latin root meaning "away or from," the "ad" meaning "to or towards." In anatomy the point of reference is a line running from the ground to the center of the forehead of a person standing facing you.
		Thus muscles that pull away from the midline are abductors and those that pull towards the midline are ad-ductors.
		Typical adductor stretches did not work for me. What did work is a variant of the one that is suggested in the website Rich referenced.

	Groin Strain (Adductor muscle rupture)
		There are five adductor muscles, the pectineus, adductor brevis and adductor longus (called short adductors which go from the pelvis to the thigh bone) and the gracilis and adductor magnus (long adductors which go from the pelvis to the knee).
		Inability to contract the adductor muscles (squeezing the legs together or possibly lifting the leg out in front).
		A partial rupture of the adductor muscles will often lead to inflammation of the groin after the initial rupture has healed.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: When Groin Pain Is More Than 'Just a Strain'
		If this happens in the adductor muscle, the patient experiences pain and stiffness in the groin region that is often worse after an exercise bout.
		There is local tenderness to palpation, and adductor tendinitis is often difficult to differentiate from an adductor strain on physical exam.
		For the quadriceps muscles, this can be accomplished by wrapping the affected area in an elastic bandage with the knee in maximum flexion for the first 24 hours after the trauma.

		Typically, Americans only eat a scallop's adductor muscle, the disc-shaped white meat which connects a scallop's tissue to its shell.
		In most other countries, however, scallops are eaten with the roe attached to the adductor meat.

	Abductor muscle definition - Healthy Living: Living a healthy lifestyle for disease prevention on MedicineNet.com
		Abductor muscle: Any muscle used to pull a body part away from the midline of the body.
		For example, the abductor muscles of the legs spread the legs away from the midline and away from one another.
		Therefore, the opposite of "abductor" is "adductor." An abductor muscle opposes an adductor muscle.
