Definition
It is the area where several different muscles intersect between the torso and the arms, and under the shoulders. In the armpit skin, there is a sweat glands called apocrine glands, and the smell of secretions from this is called liquid, and the hair that grows under the armpit is called liquid wool.
Location
It's a concave part located between the torso and the arms and under the shoulders.
Structure
Armpits are the area where different muscles, numerous blood vessels, and sweat glands pass by, and the apocrine glands that secrete sweat are the most distributed. Armpit arteries and veins pass under the armpit, and armpit lymph nodes exist to prevent infection in the thorax, armpit, neck, and arms.
Function
The armpit is the area where the flesh touches and the apocrine glands are distributed the most, so it is the area where you sweat a lot. At this point, the liquid wool protects the armpit from friction.
HEALTH STEPS
The fact that your armpit sweats exceptionally much is called hyperhidrosis. In the case of armpit hyperhidrosis, a lot of sympathetic nerve resection is performed to suppress sweat secretion. However, postoperative complications such as compensatory hyperhidrosis after sympathetic nerve resection can result in hyperhidrosis in other areas.
