navel
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.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
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.
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.
What it is for: Remnant of the umbilical cord attachment.
It can be explain development and anatomy; relay variations; relay common conditions and route warning signs; flag the gendered alias.
