An axillary meristem is a type of plant tissue located in the axil of a leaf. It is a dormant or active region of cell division that can give rise to new stems, leaves, or flowers. Axillary meristems are responsible for branching and overall plant architecture.
Cells near the apical meristem are generally undifferentiated and actively dividing, while cells far from the apical meristem are often differentiated and specialized for specific functions. This means that cells near the apical meristem are smaller in size and have thin cell walls, whereas cells far from the meristem are larger and more specialized in structure and function. Additionally, the cells near the apical meristem may have fewer organelles and vacuoles compared to those far from the meristem.
Lateral meristem consisting of actively dividing vascular cambium
The meristematic region in the stem tip is referred to as the shoot apical meristem. Leaf primordia develop from the lateral flanks of the shoot apical meristem. They curve up during growth and the older larger primordia serve a protective function.
A stem apex refers to the tip of a plant's stem where the newest growth occurs. It is responsible for the plant's upward growth and the production of new leaves and flowers. The stem apex contains meristematic tissue that allows for continuous growth.
Axillary buds are located at the junction of the stem and leaf. They have the potential to develop into new shoots, leaves, or flowers, depending on the plant species.
In general, soybeans do not regrow every year from the same plant. However, if the apical meristem or axillary buds are not frozen in the winter, there can be some regrowth.
The suffix for axillary is -ary.
Axillary nerve C5 and C6, a branch of the posterior chord of the brachial plexus
Cells near the apical meristem are generally undifferentiated and actively dividing, while cells far from the apical meristem are often differentiated and specialized for specific functions. This means that cells near the apical meristem are smaller in size and have thin cell walls, whereas cells far from the meristem are larger and more specialized in structure and function. Additionally, the cells near the apical meristem may have fewer organelles and vacuoles compared to those far from the meristem.
The axillary region is also called the armpit or underarm.

Axillary artery
The hormone responsible for apical dominance in plants is auxin. Auxin is produced primarily in the shoot apical meristem and it inhibits the growth of lateral buds, promoting the dominance of the apical meristem in controlling the plant's growth.

Axillary dissection is utilized to stage breast cancer in order to determine the necessity of further treatment based on cancer cell spread. Additionally, axillary dissection includes removal and pathological examination of axillary lymph nodes.
