Anatomical term describing a muscle that pulls or draws a limb toward the body's midline or center.
From Latin 'adducent-' (leading toward), the present participle of 'adducere,' used in medical anatomy to describe directional muscle action.
Your adducent muscles are constantly working—when you pull your arm toward your body or cross your legs, those are adducent muscles doing their job, moving limbs toward your body's center line.
