Linea[edit]

linea alba literally means what and will be found in the blank and abdominal wall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.179.85.252 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 6 October 2008

Means white line and is found in the midline in the anterior (front) abdominal wall. JakobSteenberg (talk) 15:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Same Item[edit]

I understand the Linea Alba and Linea Nigra are the same thing, just modified in colour due to normal body hormonal changes. Historically they may have been referred to as different items, however given an updated biological understanding, I would think these two articles could come together as one item. Has the scientific community concluded these are in fact the same thing, just differing in colour? Given the social climate of 2022, perhaps discontinuing the use of Latin references to colour, for scientific naming conventions, should also be considered. Is there a more generic, biologically accurate name for this line? Linea Centralis? SquashEngineer (talk) 13:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
