ülevaatetele

Ülevaatetele, also known as superaxillary glands, are a pair of small endocrine glands located in the axillary region of the body. These glands are typically found in the lower part of the armpits, near the brachial plexus, and are nonfunctional in most mammals, including humans.

The ülevaatetele glands secrete a small amount of a hormone that is thought to play a role in the regulation of body temperature, although the exact function and mechanism of action of this hormone are not fully understood. In some animal species, such as the spotted hyena and the bonobo, the ülevaatetele glands have been found to be functional and have been linked to behaviors such as aggression and stress.

Studies have also suggested that the development and function of the ülevaatetele glands may be influenced by factors such as sex hormones, genetics, and environmental factors. In species where the ülevaatetele glands are functional, the presence of these glands has been linked to differences in behavior and reproductive success.

It is worth noting that the ülevaatetele glands are not a well-studied feature in most mammals, and much of what is known about these glands comes from studies of a limited number of animal species. Further research is needed to fully understand the role and function of the ülevaatetele glands in various mammalian species.
