Musculus pectineus

The video tutorial covers the six adductors of the hip joint, focusing on their origin, innervation, and functions. The pectineus muscle is highlighted for its unique origin and dual innervation by the obturatory and femoral nerves. The adductors are essential for movements like adduction, external rotation, and slight flexion of the hip joint, as well as stabilizing the pelvis during walking and standing.
