| ileocolic lymph nodes | Nodes located along the ileocolic artery that drain lymph from the ascending colon to the superior mesenteric nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici ileocolici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior epigastric lymph nodes | Three or four nodes placed along the inferior epigastric vessels; they receive afferents from the lower abdominal wall and empty into the external iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici epigastrici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior mesenteric lymph nodes | Nodes located along the inferior mesenteric artery and its branches that drain the upper part of the rectum, the sigmoid colon, and descending colon. Synonym: nodi lymphatici mesenterici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior phrenic lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes associated with the inferior phrenic vessels. Synonym: nodi lymphatici phrenici inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior tracheobronchial lymph nodes | Several large lymph nodes inferior to the tracheal bifurcation; they receive afferents from the bronchopulmonary nodes and the heart, and send efferents to the superior tracheobronchial and tracheal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales inferiores, bifurcation lymph nodes, carinal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inflammatory lymph | A faintly yellow, usually coagulable fluid (i.e., euplastic lymph) that collects on the surface of an acutely inflamed membrane or cutaneous wound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infra-auricular deep parotid lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes located deep to the parotid fascia and below the ear. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei profundi infra-auriculares, infra-auricular subfascial parotid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infra-auricular subfascial parotid lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes located deep to the parotid fascia and below the ear. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei profundi infra-auriculares, infra-auricular subfascial parotid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intercellular lymph | The fluid in the potential spaces between cells in the various organs and tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intercostal lymph nodes | One or two small nodes located posteriorly in each intercostal space; they receive lymph from the parietal pleura, intercostal space, and posterior body wall; the nodes in the upper spaces empty into the thoracic duct; the nodes in the lower spaces form a descending intercostal trunk that opens into the cisterna chyli. Synonym: nodi lymphatici intercostales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interiliac lymph nodes | Several lymph nodes located between the external and internal iliac arteries and the obturator artery; these nodes are considered by some to be part of the medial external iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici interiliaci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate lacunar lymph node | A lymph node of the external iliac group located between the external iliac artery and vein at the vascular lacuna. Synonym: nodus lacunaris intermedius, intermediate lacunar node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate lumbar lymph nodes | The chain of lymph nodes located between the aorta and the inferior vena cava. Synonym: nodi lymphatici lumbales intermedii, lumbar lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal iliac lymph nodes | Nodes that lie along the internal iliac artery and its branches; they receive lymph from the pelvic viscera, the gluteal region, and the deep parts of the perineum, and send efferent vessels to the common iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci interni. (05 Mar 2000) |
