Solution
The adductor longus performs two main actions:
-
It helps in the flexion of the hip. Flexion of the hip involves decreasing the angle between the thigh and the pelvis, such as when you lift your knee towards your chest.
-
It also helps in the adduction of the thigh. Adduction of the thigh involves pulling the thigh towards the midline of the body, such as when you cross your legs.
So, the correct answer to your multiple choice question is "flex the hip; adduct thigh".
