The human body part known as the "axilla" rhymes with gorilla. What does the axilla refer to?

The axilla is another word the armpit, but if you want to get more fancy - and more technical - it's defined as "the space below the shoulder through which vessels and nerves enter and leave the upper arm." You know - the armpit.
