There is a line above and below the belly button

The human belly button is very important, and if you observe carefully, you should find that there is a line above and below the belly button. Moreover, this line should be different for each person, which is relatively normal. What pregnant women know better is that nutrients are delivered to the fetus through the umbilical cord inside the belly button. So the belly button is very important, but what is the line above and below the belly button?

Do you know how belly buttons come about? Everyone has a belly button. It has existed since they can remember, as if it was supposed to be there. In fact, from a scientific point of view, before we are born, there is a tube connecting us to the mother. The fetus obtains all nutrients from the mother through this tube, and waste is excreted. When we are born, we have to cut off the connection with our mother, and the remaining part will gradually shrink to form the belly button on the abdomen.

In fact, everyone is familiar with the belly button, because you can see it when you lower your head, so we are used to it. But I don’t know if you have ever carefully observed your abdomen. There is a line right in the middle below the belly button. It is very obvious for some people, but not so obvious for others, or even has been ignored. Some people have spread the rumor that this line is only for girls and not for boys. In fact, this line has its own name, it is called the linea alba. It is located below the belly button, in the middle of the abdomen, and extends vertically.

Medical books explain that the human body does not develop as a whole, but is divided into multiple parts that develop together. In most cases, the muscles that make up the human body can be stacked and divided into two parts, left and right, and they meet in the middle of the human body, which forms an intersection line, which is what we call the linea alba. So this line is not unique to girls. It should be said that everyone has it, but some people have darker skin and some have lighter skin, so it may not be visible in some people.

It is not easy to see in people with more boys, mainly because from a physical point of view, boys have relatively developed muscles, so the color of the linea alba will be lighter. In addition, boys can easily grow a big belly, which makes this line even less obvious. For girls, especially pregnant mothers, this part becomes very obvious due to the high hormone levels in their bodies and the tight skin on their belly. Especially in the later stages, the color of this line will gradually deepen, and some pregnant women will even develop stretch marks. After giving birth, the skin on the abdomen becomes loose, which can make this line more noticeable.

However, mothers can rest assured that this line will not always be so obvious. As mothers gradually recover after giving birth, the abdominal skin will gradually return to its pre-pregnancy state. When the skin becomes tighter, this line will naturally return to its original appearance. So mothers don’t need to be in a bad mood because of these things. As long as they maintain a good attitude and keep exercising, I believe the linea alba will fade soon. Boys, don’t laugh at girls. Please look down and see carefully. You actually have the same thing.
