What it is Filled
The scar on the abdomen left where the umbilical cord was attached before birth, also called the umbilicus or belly button, usually a depressed innie or protruding outie, present in placental mammals though often inconspicuous in animals; the registry alias human female navel names a gendered instance that is not a distinct anatomical kind. The navel is a landmark in anatomy and surgery, including laparoscopic access, and features in art, fashion and body piercing. Newborn cord stump care, umbilical hernias and piercing infections are common concerns, and redness, discharge or fever in a newborn s cord area, or a painful hard bulge at the navel, needs prompt medical care.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain the navel, relay development, anatomy, variations, common conditions and cultural aspects from anatomy and health sources, route warning signs, flag the gendered alias, and distinguish the navel from the umbilical cord, umbilical hernia, the abdomen and omphalos as a symbolic concept.

- Produce sexualised content about the body.
Only with a human decision
- Any treatment decision for a navel infection or hernia.
May
- Explain the anatomy of the navel.
- Encourage medical care for a red, swollen or discharging navel in a newborn.
