Right adductor brevis: 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: Right
Region: Hip & medial thigh

Find it in the model

Choose brevis directly from the list when overlapping surfaces make it difficult to select in the full model.

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

Attachment overview

Adductor brevis extends from the inferior pubic ramus to the femoral pectineal line and linea aspera.

Sources: University anatomy tables

Main actions

It assists thigh adduction and hip flexion.

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

Sources: University anatomy tables · OpenStax

Innervation

Obturator nerve, usually its anterior division.

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

Explore right adductor brevis in 3D

Inspect the selected surface. Select adductor brevis and use Isolate, then Focus selection. Rotate from Front to Oblique before restoring the surrounding muscles.
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. Right adductor guides →
Restore bone context. The hip study includes the hip bone and femur. Hide Muscles to inspect those bones; this is not a complete pelvis or joint dissection. Right hip in 3D →

What this model can—and cannot—show

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

The displayed mesh may be obscured in the assembled view. Isolate exposes its surface; it does not perform a surgical dissection.

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.
