Left adductor magnus: Anatomy & Interactive 3D

Educational draft · anatomical review pendingSources checked 21 October 2026. Prepared with AI assistance; not yet reviewed by a qualified anatomist. Not for diagnosis or treatment.

Model side: Left
Region: Hip & medial thigh

Find it in the model

Inspect the broad surface in isolation and from behind. This source provides one selectable magnus mesh per side.

Use the structure list if a neighboring mesh hides the selection. This is a partial educational assembly.

Attachment overview

Adductor magnus spans the ischiopubic ramus and ischial tuberosity to the femur. Its attachments include the linea aspera and, for the hamstring part, the adductor tubercle.

Sources: University anatomy tables

Main actions

The adductor part adducts and helps flex the thigh; the hamstring part extends the hip.

The static viewer does not simulate contraction, joint motion or muscle force.

Sources: University anatomy tables · OpenStax

Innervation

The adductor part receives the posterior division of the obturator nerve; the hamstring part receives the tibial division of the sciatic nerve.

The nerves themselves are not included in the 3D study.

Inspect the selected surface. Select adductor magnus, use Isolate and Back, then rotate slowly. Show context restores nearby bones and muscles without changing sides.
Compare all three adductors. Open the guides below the same-side thigh viewer. Switching articles keeps the selected side unless you explicitly choose the opposite-side link. Left adductor guides →

What this model can—and cannot—show

BodyParts3D provides this left-sided surface model, not every anatomical variant. Colors distinguish structures; they are not tissue textures.

The adductor and hamstring parts are not separately segmented in this asset. The viewer cannot independently select their fibers or demonstrate their different actions. Do not treat mesh openings as a validated adductor-hiatus reconstruction.

Original side-identified BodyParts3D meshes retain source coordinates. Lighting and colors are illustrative, not tissue textures. Internal fibers, nerves and attachment footprints are not independently selectable.

The lumbar spine, short external rotators, vessels, nerves and separate fascia remain absent. A source check is not specialist anatomical review.

A section tool is not available for this structure. The surface model does not reveal internal tissue architecture or represent a medical scan.

Sources and editorial status

This guide uses independently written explanations with links to the evidence behind them. Source checking and specialist anatomical review are separate steps; the latter is still pending.
