It is somewhat triangular in form, and arises by a narrow origin from the outer surfaces of the superior and inferior rami of the pubis, between the gracilis and obturator externus. Its fibers, passing backward, lateralward, and downward, are inserted, by an aponeurosis, into the line leading from the lesser trochanter to the linea aspera and into the upper part of the linea aspera, immediately behind the pectineus and upper part of the adductor longus.[WP]. adductor brevis muscle UBERON:0000368 SCTID:181687007 FMA:22442 EMAPA:36219 BTO:0001288 musculus adductos brevis Wikipedia:Adductor_brevis_muscle hindlimb stylopod pubis lesser trochanter hindlimb stylopod muscle obturator nerve adductor muscle of hip
