abdomen, contract during parturition, defecation, urination
and coughing

linea alba is a fibrous band that runs the length of the center of the
abdomen and is the central attachment of the abdominal
muscles. This is a very important landmark for any abdominal
surgery

Cutaneous trunci: a muscle that attaches to the dermis and controls the insect twich in large animals
Another large animal muscle is the cremaster, this muscle is part of the spermatic cord and attaches to the
scrotum. This muscle contracts and relaxes, raising and lowering the testicles. This movement helps to regulate testicular
temperature
