Parts of the adult navel include the "umbilical cord remnant" or "umbilical tip", which is the often protruding scar left by the detachment of the umbilical cord. This is located in the center of the navel, sometimes described as the belly button. Around the cord remnant is the "umbilical collar", formed by the dense fibrous umbilical ring ...
The umbilical region is one of the nine regions of the abdomen. It is the region that surrounds the area around the umbilicus and is placed approximately halfway between the xiphoid process and the pubic symphysis .
the umbilical region is located around the navel; the coxal region encompassing the lateral (side) of hips; the pubic region encompassing the area above the genitals. The pelvis and legs contain, from superior to inferior, the inguinal or groin region between the thigh and the abdomen, the pubic region surrounding the genitals,
The umbilicus (navel) is present on the linea alba through which foetal umbilical vessels pass before birth. [1] The linea alba is formed by the union of aponeuroses (of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall [ 2 ] ) that collectively make up the rectus sheath .
In placental mammals, the umbilical cord (also called the navel string, [1] birth cord or funiculus umbilicalis) is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta. During prenatal development , the umbilical cord is physiologically and genetically part of the fetus and (in humans) normally contains two arteries (the umbilical ...
Superiorly, the lateral umbilical fold ends where the vessels reach and enter the rectus sheath [1] at the arcuate line of rectus sheath; in spite of the name, the lateral umbilical folds do not extend as far superiorly as the umbilicus. [2] Inferiorly, it extends to just medial to the deep inguinal ring. [citation needed]
Urachal fistula: there is free communication between the bladder and umbilicus; Urachal diverticulum (vesicourachal diverticulum): the bladder exhibits outpouching [5] Urachal sinus: the pouch opens toward the umbilicus [6] The urachus is also subject to neoplasia. Urachal adenocarcinoma is histologically similar to adenocarcinoma of the bowel ...
The transumbilical plane or umbilical plane, one of the transverse planes in human anatomy, is a horizontal line that passes through the abdomen at the level of the navel (or umbilicus). In physical examination, clinicians use the transumbilical plane and its intersection with the median plane to divide the abdomen into four quadrants.
