The armpit or axilla; the hollow area under the arm where it joins the shoulder.
From Latin 'ascella,' a diminutive form related to 'axilla,' both referring to the armpit. This Latin term comes from the structure's anatomical position and function.
Your armpits are packed with about 20 lymph nodes and sweat glands—in fact, you have more sweat glands in your armpits per square inch than anywhere else on your body!
