Adductors, peanut butter leaves me greasy.

00:00:1200:00:28

What? What did he just say? My favorite acronym in all of anatomy, peanut butter

00:00:2800:00:43

leaves me greasy. Pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor Magnus and

00:00:4300:00:54

gracilis. These are more or less in order of attachment on the femur to. Till here

00:00:5400:00:59

and then its attachment on the tibia, but you guys get what I'm saying. So the

00:00:5900:01:04

adductors kind of go like this, they kind of splay out, each one getting a little

00:01:0400:01:14

longer than the last one, as you can kind of see in this picture. Anybody have a

00:01:1400:01:25

dog, have you ever fed a dog peanut butter? So I had this dog growing up

00:01:2500:01:35

named Amigo he was a great dog, he was a 40-pound rich Chihuahua. No I know that would be a

00:01:3500:01:40

monster Chihuahua. Dingo is my only monster Chihuahua, 22 pounds. He was a,

00:01:4000:01:46

Amigo was a retriever lab mix with one ear up and one ear down all the time,

00:01:4600:01:51

super super cute dog. But I had this thing when I was in high school, he used

00:01:5100:01:54

to love to come home and have peanut butter on a bagel. Has anybody ever had

00:01:5400:01:59

peanut butter on a bagel, delicious, delicious. Super high in calories too, which is

00:01:5900:02:03

probably why I enjoyed it so much as I was growing a lot in high school right.

00:02:0300:02:09

But amigo would always beg for the peanut butter, always beg for the peanut

00:02:0900:02:18

butter, so what did i do? You know exactly what I did. I did the nicest and meanest

00:02:1800:02:26

saying I could ever do to amigo, I took a big finger full of peanut butter, right

00:02:2600:02:31

behind his teeth; because what did it do?

00:02:3200:02:39

He walks away with his tail wagging, like 20 minutes later tail not so wagging

00:02:3900:02:47

anymore, still sucking on the back of his teeth, and my when, as soon as I saw

00:02:4700:02:51

peanut butter leaves me greasy, I don't remember where I got this, that was the

00:02:5100:02:57

first thing I thought of, is poor Amigos greasy little mouth and I'm trying to

00:02:5700:03:02

get that peanut butter out of his back teeth. He was happy for most of it, it was

00:03:0200:03:06

just at the end he would start getting a little annoyed. Alright so hopefully that

00:03:0600:03:10

helps you guys remember your five - pectineus, brevis, longus, Magnus, gracilis,

00:03:1000:03:15

adductors; and if you remember them in this order, it does become a little

00:03:1500:03:20

helpful to remember which ones do what actions. So being that these are called

00:03:2000:03:25

the adductors, what do we think they probably do? I'm going to guess a

00:03:2500:03:29

adduction, just a thought.

00:03:3400:03:50

I don't have a pelvis over there, oh I do have a pelvis over here. This is your

00:03:5000:03:58

pelvis alright, and then this pelvis is broken too, it's got a lot of broken

00:03:5800:04:04

bones around here alright. So can you guys see how the pubis for the most part

00:04:0400:04:11

lies in front of the hip, guess where most of the adductors start, pubis

00:04:1100:04:18

right so they all go from pubis to femur; which means they'll probably contribute

00:04:1800:04:28

to a little bit of what? Good call, as well as a little bit of flexion right,

00:04:2800:04:32

because they're in front of the hip. So they'll contribute a little bit

00:04:3200:04:37

flexion, a little bit to internal rotation, as well as a whole lot to

00:04:3700:04:43

adduction. Have a spine.

00:04:4600:05:01

So we start there, this is what the adductors do, all of them, I guess I'll

00:05:0100:05:23

write down a little nicer, but we have a couple with some special functions. the

00:05:2300:05:33

gracilis is the only adductor to cross the knee, all right and it crosses behind

00:05:3300:05:42

the knee and attaches to the inside of the tibia. So other than these the

00:05:4200:05:47

gracilis will also contribute to what? If it goes behind the knee then it

00:05:4700:06:02

contributes to? Knee flexion. If attaches to the inside of the tibia? Tibial

00:06:0200:06:05

internal rotation.

00:06:1000:06:20

Nice job, we only have one more addition to this. And it's the muscles so big we

00:06:2000:06:26

literally have to divide it in two. Magnus means big right, like that's what that

00:06:2600:06:31

word means. Anybody watch the strongman competitions? You guys remember Magnus

00:06:3100:06:40

Ver Magnuson. I'm like really, your name is big ver son of big. That's literally

00:06:4000:06:45

what your name translates to, and you're a strongman competitor, go

00:06:4500:06:53

figure right. But you're adductor Magnus is kind of the same thing, it's huge. So I

00:06:5300:06:59

talked about most of your adductors attached to your pubis. This is your

00:06:5900:07:07

ischium right, you're adductor Magnus is so big it goes from pubis to ischial

00:07:0700:07:14

tuberosity. So you have a group of fibers that run in front of the hip, and then a

00:07:1400:07:25

posterior head that actually runs behind the hip right, you guys with me. So the

00:07:2500:07:32

anterior portion of the adductor Magnus we're fine with, however we have to make

00:07:3200:07:44

like a note here that the posterior adductor Magnus if it goes behind the hip,

00:07:4400:07:55

what is it going to contribute to? Extension and external rotation, is it

00:07:5500:08:02

still going to contribute to adduction? Yes it's an adductor,

00:08:0400:08:11

fair enough. Has anybody ever felt there aductor Magnus before, soreness. This is

00:08:1100:08:15

actually a very common place, we'll talk about it a little bit when we get to

00:08:1500:08:21

postural dysfunction; where somebody will do leg workouts and they'll continuously

00:08:2100:08:27

get sore and like the back of their inner thigh, not their glute the back of

00:08:2700:08:30

their inner thigh, and what that generally means is they're adductor

00:08:3000:08:35

Magnuss is working harder than it should, and who's not working as hard as they

00:08:3500:08:48

should, the glutes exactly. Alright flexors and extensors of the hip. Alright

00:08:4800:08:56

so hip flexion and extension,

00:09:1000:09:32

who does flexion? Who else does flexion? Psoas, iliacus, TFL, rectus femoris, glute min

00:09:3200:09:42

nice call, adductors everybody except

00:09:4200:09:48

posterior head of addductor magnus which goes over here.

00:09:5100:09:58

Alright who else does extension, who's the big one? Glute Max.

00:10:0600:10:11

You're going to have to name those. So I'm going to end in fact let's break it

00:10:1100:10:19

all the way down hamstrings, medial are,

00:10:1900:10:29

here's what I hear from you guys it's like semitendinosis, so that's semi

00:10:2900:10:55

tendinosis, semimembranosus and then who's my lateral? Biceps femoris. For

00:10:5500:11:04

another exciting graph, oh maybe not that far, but hip internal rotators? TFL good

00:11:0400:11:16

call, gluteus minimus, not medius, adductors,

00:11:2100:11:25

medial hamstrings good,

00:11:3300:11:43

pectineus is part of this adductors right. So this is PBLMG -pectineus. What

00:11:4300:11:55

was that? Anterior, yeah that would be here, which means if anterior Magnus as

00:11:5500:12:02

well as all the other adductors are here, who's here? Posterior.

00:12:1400:12:22

Yeah let's let's just leave piriformis as an external rotator, that's kind of like

00:12:2200:12:27

somebody said gluteus medius, well technically gluteus medius has anterior

00:12:2700:12:31

and posterior fibers and the anterior fibers do internal rotation, what we need

00:12:3100:12:35

to worry about is the posterior fibers that get weak, and our external rotators

00:12:3500:12:43

and are probably in need of a little work. Medial hamstrings all right so lets

00:12:4300:12:49

name those -semimembranosus,

00:12:4900:12:52

semitendinosus.

00:13:0600:13:21

Good if psoas is up here, who else should be iliacus? Who are we missing? Biceps femoris.

00:13:2100:13:25

Yeah if you really want to get technical somebody said it's the long head of the

00:13:2500:13:40

biceps femoris, I heard somebody started. Yeah so the deep rotators would go on

00:13:4000:13:47

this side which is actually piriformis, gemellus superior and gemellus inferior,

00:13:4700:13:54

obturator internus and externus, quadratus femoris. Yeah you got it in your

00:13:5400:14:09

notes. Glute max good call. We'll also put glute medius, sartorius where does sartorius go?

00:14:0900:14:13

It does.

00:14:1900:14:22

Nice job guys.
