Chez l'humain, l'aisselle appelée aussi creux axillaire, est le creux situé sous l'épaule, à la jonction du bras avec le thorax. Les aisselles constituent une zone de sudation particulière, très active, en raison d'une forte densité de glandes sudoripares particulières, dites glandes apocrines. Ce rassemblement de glandes constitue l'organe axillaire.
