Find it in the model
Follow the long, slender muscle along the inner thigh toward the knee.
This is a partial regional study, not a complete medial-thigh dissection.
Attachment overview
Gracilis runs from the pubic region to the medial proximal tibia, joining sartorius and semitendinosus at the pes anserinus.
Sources: Medial thigh anatomy
Main actions
It adducts the thigh and flexes the knee.
The viewer is static: it does not simulate muscle contraction or joint movement.

Innervation
Anterior division of the obturator nerve.
Nerves are not displayed in this assembly.

Explore left gracilis in 3D
- Inspect the selected muscle. Select gracilis from the structure list, then use Isolate and Front. Rotate to follow its length; Show context restores nearby structures.
- Compare the inner thigh. Open the other guide on the same side, or choose a muscle from the structure list. Use Show context to restore the regional assembly. Left medial thigh guides →
- Restore whole-leg context. The whole-leg study includes the tibia. Other muscles, nerves, vessels and separate fascia remain incomplete. Left whole leg in 3D →
