Although a belly button isn’t as distinctive as a fingerprint, there are numerous varieties. According to popular belief, the shape of the navel is determined by how the umbilical cord was cut during birth. That, however, is not the case. In reality, the umbilical cord is cut when you are born, leaving only a small piece known as the umbilical stump.

This stump falls off one to two weeks after birth, leaving only your belly button. To put it another way, your belly button is a scar. The way your skin heals determines whether it’s an innie or an outie. About 90% of people have innies, with the remaining 10% having outies — and some people don’t even have belly buttons, usually due to a birth defect that affects the umbilical cord.

Right-Hearted

Dextrocardia is a rare heart condition in which your heart is positioned on the right side of your chest rather than the left. People are born with the abnormality because it is a congenital condition. Dextrocardia affects less than one percent of the general population. The heart is simply a mirror image of the normal heart in the most basic form of dextrocardia, and there are no other complications.

The organs of the abdomen and lungs are frequently arranged in a mirror image when this happens. The liver, for example, will be on the left side rather than the right. Heterotaxy is a serious dextrocardia syndrome in which many of the organs are not in their normal positions and may not function properly.
