• Common fibular division
• Anterior division
• Posterior division only
• Femoral branch

Q4. What is the relationship of adductor brevis to adductor longus?

• Adductor brevis lies deep to adductor longus
• The muscles do not contact each other
• Adductor brevis lies superficial to adductor longus
• Adductor brevis lies in the posterior leg

Q9. Why can adductor longus contribute to pelvic and limb control during gait?

• It flexes the toes during stance
• It primarily dorsiflexes the ankle
• It helps control medial-lateral motion of the femur
• It extends the knee through the patella

Q10. How does adductor longus differ from gracilis in distal attachment?
