It's the human common sense reset button.

Just one punch sends it into full activation mode.

It serves as a connection between the child and the mother as when the child is still in the mother's womb, where food, oxygen and other nutritional value which the child needs for growth and development passes through.

Once the baby is out of the mother's womb it serves no other purpose.

It's just like a scar.

While your eyelashes are protecting your eyes, your lungs are letting you breathe, and virtually every other part of your body—inside and out—is performing its own relatively well-known task, your belly button is just sitting there collecting lint. And while it’s true that your navel served its most important purpose before you were born, it’s not totally useless now back when you were a fetus, your belly button was more of a belly portal: Your umbilical cord extended from it and connected you to the placenta on your mother’s uterine wall. That way, the placenta could channel nutrients and oxygen to you through the cord, and you could send back waste.

Your umbilical cord was cut when you were born, creating a tiny bulge that left behind some scar tissue after it healed. That scar tissue is your belly button, navel, or umbilicus. Though you may have heard that the shape of your belly button is a direct result of the scissor skills of the doctor who delivered you, that’s not true. Dr. Dan Polk, a neonatologist in the Chicago area, told the Chicago Tribune that a belly button's shape “has to do with how much baby skin leads onto the umbilical cord from the baby’s body. Less skin makes an innie; more skin makes an outie.” About 90 percent of people have innies.

Regardless of how your belly button looks, you probably don’t use it on a daily basis. However, if you’ve studied anatomy, medicine, or a related field, you might recognize it as the central point by which the abdomen is divided into the following quadrants: right upper, left upper, right lower, and left lower. Another way of classifying that area is into nine regions—including the hypochondriac, lumbar, iliac, epigastric, and hypogastric regions—with the umbilical region at the very center.

Your belly button can also serve as the opening for laparoscopic surgery, which can save you from having a scar elsewhere on your abdomen.
The navel is a great central landmark outside of medicine, too. If you’ve taken yoga or Pilates classes, you may have heard it referred to as the center of balance or center of gravity. Because it sits right on top of your abdominal muscles, your belly button is an easy marker for your instructor to mention when they want you to access your core, which helps you balance.


Any woman who has given birth can easily answer this
When a baby is in a mothers stomach there is an umbilical cord which is how the baby gets food to survive from embryo to baby.

After the baby is born they cut the umbilical cord and the hole closes up and becomes ur belly bottom

Its for licking-up during sex

It indicates where to start licking from (Upwards or Downwards)

A serving plate also as that's the only place that can hold content when lying flat. You can pour icecream or anything there and lick up to any destination.
You eh!

You mean this dominique jnr? tongue

To the topic: Umbilical cord is also a channel to a child's destiny. You may have heard stories of how people's lives was tampered with at birth by evil uncles, aunties or even the nurses in hospitals who sell it to ritualists.


Ensure to Collect it immediately a child ia born and bury it. For those that a deeply rooted in the bible, you can keep it seven days in an altar in a church. It should be in glass container filled with anointing oil and prayed with for seven days (for the child) and on the naming ceremony (7th day), it is burnt and its ash thrown away (this is the father's work).

How old is she? You could have done a personal research and then explain to her, even show her videos on YouTube. From there you'll both learn, and you don't know how much help that would do to her intelligence.
It's not too late!

I used to have the feeling that the abdomen is the secretion center of the saliva.the abdomen is the part of the female anatomy I hate the most and find it hard to kiss a girl if I am disgusted seeing her abdomen.
It's sounds weird but I still feel that way about ladies,maybe becus I do see a lot of girls exposing their abdomen.
If I see ur abdomen first before we begin play and I no like am,I no go kiss you o lailai

It's the connection cord between the 'preggy' and the foetus thereby serving as the tube for tapping breath, digestives to mention few for it's survival from the carrier. After delivery the button is just a significance of human that has passed through a mother's tunnel.
Re: What Purpose Does The Belly Button Serve? by izicooo(f): 3:11pm On Oct 05, 2019
It's a vestige organ, it doesn't really have any function after birth. Surgery can be done on the bulgy (swollen) ones to push it in.

It’s the scar left from the surgical removal of the umbilical cord, the umbilical code is a long tissue extending from the mother’s placental to the child during the developmental stage of the child in the mother’s womb, it helps to carry Oxygen, nutrients and other elements such as antibodies (immunoglobulin g) to the child and they become vestigial after birth(little or no use). chai after 5 years of graduation without job, just tot I should see if the brain is still working
