Trivia: The axilla pertains to what part of the body?
Foot
Neck
Armpit
Chest
The correct answer is Armpit
So why is this answer correct? : The axilla is the area directly under the shoulder joint and relates to the armpit. When taking the temperature of young children, doctors often use the “axillary method,” which involves placing a thermometer in the armpit area. The armpit’s cousin, the knee pit, also has a lesser-known scientific name: popliteal fossa.
