The adductor brevis muscle (short adductor) is one of the adductors of the thigh . It runs completely under the long adductor ( musculus adductor longus ). The short adductor flexes the hip joint and pulls the thigh towards the middle of the body ( adduction ).
In cats , and occasionally also in dogs and horses , the short adductor also occurs as an independent muscle. In pigs and ruminants , however, it is always fused with the long adductor. The origin of this set of muscles is oval in the slaughter half of female animals and triangular in male animals, which can be used to determine sex on the carcass.
