| interglobular space of Owen | One of a number of irregularly branched spaces near the periphery of the dentin of the crown of a tooth, through which pass the ramifications of the tubules; they are caused by failure of calcification of the dentin.

| interpleural space | <anatomy> The space in the thoracic cavity behind the sternum and in between the two pleural sacs (containing the lungs). (27 Sep 1997) |
| interproximal space | The space between adjacent teeth in a dental arch; it is divided into the embrasure occlusal to the contact area, and the septal space gingival to the contact area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interradicular space | The space between the roots of multirooted teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |

| intervaginal space of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The spaces within the internal sheath of the optic nerve, between the arachnoidal and pial layers, filled with cerebrospinal fluid and continuous with the subarachnoid space. Synonym: spatia intervaginalia nervi optici, intersheath spaces of optic nerve, Schwalbe's spaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraretinal space | The potential cleft between the pigmented and neural layers of the retina; it represents the cavity of the embryonic optic vesicle; retinal detachment occurs by the opening of this space. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Tarin's space | A dilation of the subarachnoid space in front of the pons, where the arachnoid membrane stretches across between the two temporal lobes over the base of the diencephalon. See: interpeduncular fossa. Synonym: cisterna interpeduncularis, basal cistern, cisterna basalis, cisterna cruralis, Tarin's space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Tenon's space | The space between the fascial sheath of the eyeball and the sclera. Synonym: spatium episclerale, interfascial space, spatium interfasciale, spatium intervaginale bulbi oculi, Tenon's space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thenar space | The more medial of the central palmar spaces, bounded medially by the hypothenar compartment; related distally to the synovial tendon sheaths of digits 3 and 4 and proximally to the common flexor sheath. Synonym: medial midpalmar space, middle palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Traube's semilunar space | A crescentic space about 12 cm wide, bounded medially by the left border of the sternum, above by an oblique line from the sixth costal cartilage to the lower border of the eighth or ninth rib in the mid-axillary line and below by the costal margin; the percussion tone here is normally tympanitic, because of the underlying stomach, but is modified by pulmonary emphysema, a pleural effusion, or an enlarged spleen.
