A brief Review by Chukwuma Chinaza Adaobi
Introduction:
The navel is a scar tissue resulting from the detachment of the umbilical cord after birth. The umbilical cord, which provides oxygen and nutrients from mother to child during pregnancy, contains three vessels – two arteries and one vein. Once the umbilical cord is removed, the vessels close up.
After the umbilical vein degenerates, a ligament connected
to the liver remains, but its purpose is to divide the liver into two sections
according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
Why the navel is on your
Body?
Navel, also called umbilicus, plural umbilici, or
umbilicuses, in anatomy, a small depression in the abdominal wall at the point
of attachment of the umbilical cord (q.v.). It indicates the point through
which the mammalian fetus obtained nourishment from its mother through the
blood vessels of the umbilical cord.
What is the importance of
navel in human body?
Your belly button marks the spot where your umbilical
(say: um-BIL-ih-kul) cord was once attached. This cord is a soft, bendable tube
that carried nutrients vitamins and minerals from your mother to you, back when
you were in her belly (womb). A belly button is also called a navel.
The navel (clinically known as the umbilicus,
commonly known as the belly button) is a protruding, flat, or hollowed area on
the abdomen at the attachment site of the umbilical cord. All placental mammals
have a navel.
What causes navel pain?
Many minor conditions can cause pain in the navel area and
even radiate to other areas of the body, including the pelvis, legs, and chest.
Common causes include indigestion, constipation, and pregnancy. Treatment
depends on the underlying cause.
What is inside the belly
button?
What's inside your belly button. Belly buttons are the
first human scar, and about 90% of them are innies. If you have an innie,
chances are it's full of dozens of kinds of bacteria, fungi, and lint especially
if you have a hairy belly. And if your navel is infected, there might also be a
cheese-like liquid inside.
Should you clean out your
belly button?
The takeaway. Although most people don't spend much time
thinking about their bellybuttons, it's not a bad idea to clean yours every
week or so. Cleaning your bellybutton can help you avoid potential infections,
smells, and other results of poor hygiene.
