| 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) |
| interpectoral lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes located between the pectoralis major and minor muscles; they receive lymph from the muscles and the mammary gland, and deliver lymph to the axillary lymphatic plexus. Synonym: nodi lymphatici interpectorales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraglandular deep parotid lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes of the deep parotid group lying within the parotid gland. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei intraglandulares, intraglandular parotid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraglandular parotid lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes of the deep parotid group lying within the parotid gland. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei intraglandulares, intraglandular parotid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intravascular lymph | Lymph within the lymphatic vessels, in contrast to intercellular lymph and lymph that has exuded from the vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obturator lymph nodes | Nodes of the internal iliac group located along the obturator artery. Synonym: nodi lymphatici obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital lymph nodes | One or two small nodes along the occipital vessels close to the trapezius muscle that receive afferents from the posterior scalp and drain into the superior deep cervical nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici occipitales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyroid lymph nodes | Nodes of the anterior deep cervical group located around the thyroid gland; they drain into the lateral deep cervical group. Synonym: nodi lymphatici thyroidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
