A member asked:
Does the belly button "go" anywhere? or is it a dead end, so to speak? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leftover: The belly button is simply a port on your skin that was leftover after your umbilical cord was lost from delivery as a newborn infant. It is like a scar or remnant piece of skin that simply closes the remnants of the umbilical cord and its vessels that went into your body and now no longer function.
