body
, 3. Pampiniform plexus: complex network of blood vessels that cool the blood entering
the testes.-->thermoregulation

GREATER MUSCULARITY OVERALL.
-Visual indicators of muscularity include thickness and shape of forearm, width and
fullness of the stifle as observed from the rear view, base width between hind legs when
standing and walking, a rounded and expressive shape to the ribeye or loineye area
