Muscles that pull a limb or body part away from the midline of the body or from another part.
From Latin abducere (to lead away) + -or (one that does) + -s (English plural). English plural of Latin-derived anatomical term.
Your abductor muscles are what let you spread your legs, raise your arms to the sides, or splay your fingers—they're the anti-hug muscles of your skeleton.
