Lexicon of Human Anatomy and Biomechanical Engineering Systems

• Adducted element — The product brought or collected through a channel, or, as an adjective, the description of an anatomical movement or structure that has been brought toward the median axis of the body. In structural anatomy, it represents a component or position resulting from the adduction process, performed by adductor muscles that draw a limb (arm or leg) toward the body's midline. In old hydrotechnics, it partially referred to a channel or conduit conveying fluid (similar to adduction).
