Distal to the middle of the femur, i,e, immediatoJy distal to the insertion of the pectineus, the insertion is pierced by the femoral vessels. Occasionally the most proximal part of the muscle can be isolated from the rest. If this portion is regarded as equivalent to the m. adductor longus of the human body, the rest of the muscle must be considered as representing the m. adfy^tPzdl^^ f^^&ScffM'^^f^^or nnagnus.
