- together with Adductor Longus (3), Adductor Brevis and Adductor Major joins the hip Adduction
- together with Hamstrings, Sartorius and Popliteus joins the knee Flexion
- together with Semimembranosus, Semitendinosus, Popliteus and Sartorius acts to Rotate the knee
Notes: at the level of proximal part of the tibia, Gracilis tendon joins the "Pes Anserinus" together with Semitendinosus and Srtorius tendons
