GRACILIS

The gracilis is a thin, wide, band-like muscle that sits on the inside of the thigh. It is wider at its point of origin at the edge of the midsection of the pubic arch and tapers at its insertion in the inside surface of the shaft of the tibia. It is innervated by the obturator nerve and supplied by the internal circumflex artery. This muscle brings the knee up and pulls it across the front, toward the middle of the body. It also assists in rotation of the leg.
