What is a covalent compound made of many small repeating units linked together in a chain? A polymer would fit that description. Also, a protein which is made of many amino acids hooded together by a peptide bond, which is a covalent bond.
Hip abductors are muscles on the other side of the leg and they do the opposite motion, by bringing the leg away from the middle of the body. It would look funny if humans stood around adducting and abducting their leg, but itâs more complex than thatâ¦.
As the femoral shaft meets the pelvis, an angled pressure from above imposes high bending strain to the femur. Both the hip abductors and the tensor fasciae latae counteract the pressure on the opposite side and help stabilize the bone (tension banding effect). Furthermore, the activation of the muscle leads to an abduction, flexion and inward rotation of the hip joint.
