This is an extremely thin and narrow ,j„ band of fibres, lying '^'"^ on the more anterior '" portion of the med- ial surface of the thigh. The muscle is fused distally with the gracilis. It has the position of a rotator muscle, and is only a flexor through its connec- tion with the latter. (b) The gracilis. Ori- gin: The entire ex- tent of the pubic symphysis. Inser- tion : Through a broad tendinous ex- pansion ending in the fascia of the proximal portion of the medial surface of the thigh. The muscle forms a broad, com- paratively thin sheet, covering the posterior portion of the medial surface of the thigh. Its insertion tendon is perforated. Posterior Fia. 76.
