1:20:541:20:55

Hi, there! This button fell off my lab coat yesterday,

1:20:561:21:00

so I've just been sewing it back on.

1:21:001:21:03

There! Good as new.

1:21:031:21:07

BLEEPING

1:21:071:21:09

I hear a beep, I see a flash, I wonder what they're going to ask.

1:21:091:21:13

TOGETHER: Hi, Nina!

1:21:161:21:17

Hi, guys!

1:21:171:21:19

-We've got a question for you.

-What are bellybuttons for?

1:21:191:21:23

A great question, what are bellybuttons for?

1:21:231:21:26

I've often wondered about that.

1:21:261:21:28

Why don't you come down to the lab and we'll investigate?

1:21:281:21:31

-TOGETHER: See you soon, Nina! Bye!

-Bye!

1:21:311:21:35

I need some help to answer this one and I know just who to ask.

1:21:351:21:39

OK, Neurons, time to get to work.

1:21:391:21:41

ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina!

1:21:591:22:01

Today's question is, what are bellybuttons for?

1:22:011:22:05

Which Neuron do you think will be most useful in finding the answer?

1:22:051:22:09

-Me!

-Me!

-Me!

-Me!

-Me!

-Me!

1:22:091:22:11

Will it be...Fabulous Felix?

1:22:111:22:14

I can help so very much, if you need the sense of touch.

1:22:141:22:18

Will it be...Beautiful Belle?

1:22:181:22:20

I send messages to brain from ear, if there's a sound I help you hear.

1:22:201:22:24

Will it be...Lovely Luke?

1:22:241:22:26

For looking and seeing day or night, I help you with your sense of sight.

1:22:261:22:31

Will it be...Awesome Ollie?

1:22:311:22:33

If it's pongy but you can't tell, my messages help your sense of smell.

1:22:331:22:37

Or will it be...Baby Bud?

1:22:371:22:40

Sour, salty, bitter or sweet, I'm your taste buddy when you eat.

1:22:401:22:44

BEEPING

1:22:441:22:47

It's Luke!

1:22:471:22:49

Yes!

1:22:491:22:51

ALL: Go, Luke! Go, Luke! Go, Luke! Go, Luke!

1:22:511:22:55

Go, Luke! Go, Luke! Go, Luke!

1:22:551:22:58

Cool, Nina, I'll be looking out to help you.

1:22:581:23:02

Today's question - what are bellybuttons for?

1:23:021:23:05

Since our bellybutton is something we see,

1:23:051:23:07

Luke, our sight Neuron, will help us today.

1:23:071:23:10

Stand by, Neurons, I may need help from all of you.

1:23:101:23:14

I need to get the lab ready before the experimenters arrive.

1:23:141:23:18

Izzy likes rainbows, Kaleel like basketball and Laney loves drawing,

1:23:191:23:24

but they all want to know what bellybuttons are for,

1:23:241:23:27

so today, for one day only,

1:23:271:23:30

Izzy, Kaleel and Laney become the experimenters!

1:23:301:23:33

-Hi, guys!

-Hi, Nina!

1:23:351:23:38

Welcome to my science lab!

1:23:381:23:40

Now you asked, what are our bellybuttons for,

1:23:401:23:43

which is a great question, but why do you want to know?

1:23:431:23:47

My bellybutton doesn't seem to do anything.

1:23:471:23:50

Do the rest of you have bellybuttons?

1:23:501:23:52

-Yes.

-Yes, we do.

1:23:521:23:54

What, all of you?

1:23:541:23:56

-ALL: Yes!

-I'm joking, I've got a belly button too.

1:23:561:23:59

We're going to investigate to find out more about bellybuttons

1:23:591:24:03

and for our first experiment we'll use our senses.

1:24:031:24:07

ALL: Woo-woo! A senses experiment! We're ready, Nina!

1:24:071:24:11

We know we all have bellybuttons, do you know anyone else who has one?

1:24:111:24:16

-My sister.

-My friends at school.

1:24:161:24:18

Everyone has a bellybutton. Where is your bellybutton?

1:24:181:24:22

-In your tummy.

-Where exactly on your tummy?

1:24:221:24:25

-In the middle.

-Right, our bellybutton is in the middle of our tummy,

1:24:251:24:30

just like on this dolly.

1:24:301:24:32

Let's have a look at some photos of bellybuttons.

1:24:321:24:36

Ha-ha! How would you describe this bellybutton?

1:24:371:24:41

-Got a hole.

-That's right, lots of bellybuttons go in the way,

1:24:411:24:44

like this one, and we often call these innies.

1:24:441:24:48

But not all bellybuttons do that.

1:24:481:24:50

Ha-ha, some people have outie bellybuttons, like this one,

1:24:511:24:56

that stick out a little bit. Do any of you guys have an outie?

1:24:561:25:00

-Yes.

-I do!

1:25:001:25:01

You both have outies?

1:25:011:25:03

Nobody knows for sure why some people have innies and some outies.

1:25:031:25:08

I myself have an innie, but it doesn't matter what kind you have.

1:25:081:25:12

OK, let's have a look at one more bellybutton.

1:25:121:25:17

Ha-ha-ha!

1:25:171:25:21

'Whoa! That's a strange looking bellybutton!'

1:25:211:25:25

Whose bellybutton do you think it might be?

1:25:251:25:28

A monkey's.

1:25:281:25:29

Good guess. Let's see, shall we?

1:25:291:25:32

Oh!

1:25:341:25:35

-It's a puppy!

-Yes!

1:25:351:25:38

Humans aren't the only ones with bellybuttons,

1:25:381:25:41

animals have them, too, like dogs and cats.

1:25:411:25:44

You usually can't see them, they're covered in fur.

1:25:441:25:47

So we now know that everyone has a bellybutton

1:25:471:25:50

in the middle of their tummies and so do lots of animals.

1:25:501:25:54

Some people have an innie and some people have an outie

1:25:541:25:57

but it doesn't matter what type we have.

1:25:571:26:00

We still don't know what why.

1:26:001:26:03

To find out more we need to go and see a very special machine,

1:26:031:26:07

-so let's go, experimenters!

-ALL: Yeah!

1:26:071:26:10

Off we go for another adventure.

1:26:131:26:15

Nina said, we are going to see a special kind of machine.

1:26:151:26:19

Maybe it's a noisy, spinning washing machine.

1:26:191:26:23

I hope it's a sandwich-making machine.

1:26:231:26:26

We'll soon find out, Neurons, we're here!

1:26:261:26:29

-Are you excited about it?

-Yes.

1:26:291:26:33

Hi, Lucy. Hi, Yvonne.

1:26:331:26:35

-Hi, Nina.

-We've come to a clinic which helps mummies having babies.

1:26:351:26:39

and as you can see from Yvonne's big tummy, she's having a baby.

1:26:391:26:45

This is Lucy, she's a midwife who works here.

1:26:451:26:48

You have a special machine

1:26:481:26:50

that lets you see the baby inside a mummy's tummy?

1:26:501:26:53

It's an ultrasound machine. Will we look at Yvonne's baby?

1:26:531:26:57

ALL: Yes, please.

1:26:571:26:59

Mmm, that doesn't smell like the nice jelly you have with ice cream.

1:27:031:27:08

That's right, Ollie, you can't eat this jelly.

1:27:081:27:12

The place where a baby grows inside a mummy is called the womb.

1:27:141:27:18

The womb is a special space in a mummy's tummy

1:27:181:27:21

full of a liquid that's a bit like water.

1:27:211:27:24

The ultrasound machine lets us see the baby

1:27:241:27:28

by creating a picture on that screen.

1:27:281:27:32

I can see the baby, but it looks so small.

1:27:321:27:37

It is small, Luke. Babies start off being teeny tiny,

1:27:371:27:41

but they grow bigger in their mummy's womb.

1:27:411:27:44

Babies can grow there because of something called an umbilical cord.

1:27:441:27:48

The umbili...what, Nina?

1:27:481:27:51

The umbilical cord, Bud.

1:27:511:27:53

Here is a drawing of a baby inside its mummy's womb.

1:27:531:27:58

Can you see this long thin thing that looks like a piece of string

1:27:581:28:03

-joining the baby to its mummy?

-ALL: Yes.

1:28:031:28:06

That's the umbilical cord. Now, where does the cord join the baby?

1:28:061:28:11

-On its belly.

-Yes, right where our bellybuttons are.

1:28:111:28:16

Once the baby's born,

1:28:161:28:17

it doesn't need an umbilical cord any more, so a doctor cuts it off.

1:28:171:28:22

Ooh! Does that hurt, Nina?

1:28:221:28:24

No, it doesn't hurt at all, Felix, it's like having your hair cut.

1:28:241:28:29

After the cord's gone, all that is left is a little bump,

1:28:291:28:32

which is the baby's bellybutton.

1:28:321:28:35

Can anyone see the baby's umbilical cord?

1:28:351:28:38

I can. I can see it.

1:28:381:28:41

Can you? Well spotted! Ha-ha!

1:28:411:28:45

-Would you like to hear the baby's heart beating?

-ALL: Yes, please.

1:28:451:28:50

HEARTBEAT

1:28:511:28:53

That sounds amazing, Nina.

1:28:551:28:58

Isn't it, Belle? Thank you for showing us the ultrasound machine.

1:28:581:29:03

You're welcome.

1:29:031:29:04

-Thank you for letting us look at your baby.

-My pleasure, Nina.

1:29:041:29:08

We discovered that our bellybutton is left over from the umbilical cord

1:29:081:29:13

we all had when we were in our mummy's womb.

1:29:131:29:16

What does an umbilical cord do?

1:29:161:29:18

I've got an experiment that will show us the answer.

1:29:181:29:22

-Let's head back to the lab! Thanks again, bye.

-ALL: Bye!

1:29:221:29:26

OK, we're going to pretend that this is a mummy's womb inside her tummy.

1:29:271:29:32

I need someone to go inside and pretend to be a baby.

1:29:321:29:36

Izzy, hand up first! On you go.

1:29:361:29:40

This is great, I love pretending.

1:29:401:29:43

We're going to pretend this tube is an umbilical cord.

1:29:431:29:47

An umbilical cord's a bit like a drinking straw.

1:29:471:29:51

Things can travel inside it, like drinking liquid through a straw.

1:29:511:29:56

We're also going to pretend these balls are important things

1:29:561:30:00

a baby needs to help it grow.

1:30:001:30:02

-Tell me, what do you think those things might be?

-Food.

1:30:021:30:06

Food will help the baby grow big and strong.

1:30:061:30:10

That's right, Bud, these balls are our pretend food,

1:30:101:30:14

the baby needs two other things to help it grow.

1:30:141:30:17

-Water?

-That's right, pretend water and these are pretend air.

1:30:171:30:22

Air is the invisible gas all around us that we breathe in

1:30:221:30:26

and I need you guys to roll these balls along the umbilical cord

1:30:261:30:31

into the pretend womb.

1:30:311:30:33

OK, get rolling!

1:30:331:30:36

You can catch them at the end, Izzy. Oh, well done.

1:30:391:30:43

Ha-ha-ha.

1:30:461:30:49

Very good. When the baby's in its mummy's tummy,

1:30:491:30:52

it can't eat, drink or breathe on its own like we can,

1:30:521:30:56

so its mummy gives the baby food, water and air

1:30:561:30:59

through the umbilical cord, which helps the baby to grow.

1:30:591:31:04

There are some yellow balls that are already inside our pretend womb,

1:31:041:31:09

so, Izzy, can I get you to put the yellow balls into the tube

1:31:091:31:13

and pass them back through to us?

1:31:131:31:16

OK.

1:31:161:31:18

Push it, push it! Oh, here it comes!

1:31:201:31:24

-You got it?

-I have.

1:31:241:31:25

The baby can't go to the bathroom and use the toilet like we can,

1:31:251:31:29

these yellow balls are the waste the baby needs its mummy to get rid of.

1:31:291:31:34

The umbilical cord helps a baby to grow in its mummy's womb.

1:31:341:31:38

The cord brings the baby food, water and air

1:31:381:31:42

and it takes away the waste, like poo and wee!

1:31:421:31:45

-Yuck!

-Ha ha ha!

1:31:451:31:47

# Nina and the Neurons! #

1:31:471:31:52

Your question - what are bellybuttons for?

1:31:521:31:55

I think we've answered it.

1:31:551:31:57

Everyone has a bellybutton in the middle of their tummy,

1:31:571:32:01

we were lucky enough to see a baby growing inside its mummy's tummy

1:32:011:32:06

in a space called the womb.

1:32:061:32:08

The baby was joined to her by the umbilical cord.

1:32:081:32:12

We found out the mummy's body uses the umbilical chord

1:32:121:32:16

to give the baby the food, water and air it needs

1:32:161:32:19

and take away waste.

1:32:191:32:20

When the baby's born, it doesn't need the umbilical cord any more,

1:32:201:32:25

so the doctors cut the cord off

1:32:251:32:27

and the little bumpy bit of skin that's left over

1:32:271:32:30

is what we call our bellybutton.

1:32:301:32:33

-I hope that's answered your question.

-ALL: Thanks, Nina, bye!

1:32:331:32:38

Bye!

1:32:381:32:39

1:32:451:32:49

-Hearts beating.

-Lungs breathing.

1:32:491:32:52

-Fingers feeling.

-Mouths eating.

Hearing all about innie and outie belly buttons.

1:33:411:33:45

Ah, it's been such a great day, man,

1:33:451:33:48

seeing that lovely little baby growing inside its mummy's womb.

1:33:481:33:53

It's been a marvellous day.

1:33:531:33:55

I'm so glad that cutting the umbilical cord doesn't hurt.

1:33:551:33:59

Everyone's body is different but they're all brilliant.
