Naparakenne
Naparakenne refers to the anatomical structures involved in the formation and function of the navel, or umbilicus, in mammals. This includes the umbilical cord, which connects the fetus to the placenta during pregnancy, allowing for nutrient and oxygen exchange. The umbilical cord typically contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein, surrounded by Wharton's jelly. After birth, the umbilical cord is severed, leaving a stump that eventually dries, falls off, and forms the navel. The resulting scar tissue and the underlying musculature contribute to the appearance and depth of the navel. Variations in naparakenne can lead to different navel shapes, such as an "innie" or an "outie." In some cases, developmental anomalies can affect the naparakenne, leading to conditions like umbilical hernias or omphaloceles, where abdominal organs protrude through a weakness in the abdominal wall at the navel site. Medical attention is usually sought for significant deviations or discomfort related to the naparakenne.
