Are the armpits (axillary) on the axial body surface or the appendicular surface?

Axial relates to the axis of the body: head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular relates to the limbs and their "attachments to the axis"

The axilla is the space between the upper outer rib cage and the medial side of the humerus. It would be in relation to both the appendicular and axial.
