| 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) |
