| injection mass | Coloured solutions or suspensions injected into the vascular system to render vessels and their walls prominent; useful for gross preparations and for study under low magnification after clearing; most fluids contain warm gelatin and the colouring materials are carmine, Berlin blue, or carbon.

| injection molding | The adaptation of a plastic material to the negative form of a closed mold by forcing the material into the mold through appropriate gateways. See: compression molding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracytoplasmic sperm injection | <gynaecology> The direct injection of a single sperm into an egg. (09 Oct 1997) |
| intramuscular injection | <technique> A technique to deliver a medication into muscle tissue for its eventual absorption into the systemic circulation. Smaller volume intramuscular injections may be given into the deltoid, but larger volumes are usually given into the gluteus muscle. (27 Sep 1997) |
| intrathecal injection | Injection of drugs into the spinal fluid to prevent or treat CNS leukaemia or lymphoma. (13 Nov 1997) |
| intravenous injection | <pharmacology> The giving of drugs into a vein through a syringe. (30 Mar 1998) |

| test injection | Intravenous injection of a few milliliters of radiographic contrast medium to screen for allergic or idiosyncratic responses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jet injection | Hypodermic injection of drugs by a jet injector. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Z-tract injection | A technique in which the skin and subcutaneous tissue are displaced laterally before inserting the needle intramuscularly; used to prevent leakage along the track of the needle and consequent tissue irritation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flow injection analysis | The analysis of a chemical substance by inserting a sample into a carrier stream of reagent using a sample injection valve that propels the sample downstream where mixing occurs in a coiled tube, then passes into a flow-through detector and a recorder or other data handling device. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lactated Ringer's injection | A sterile solution of calcium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and sodium lactate in water for injection; used intravenously as a systemic alkaliser and a fluid and electrolyte replenisher. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amorphous insulin zinc suspension | Sterile suspension of insulin in buffered water for injection, modified by the addition of zinc chloride such that the solid phase of the suspension is amorphous; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; the duration of action is equivalent to that of insulin injection. Synonym: amorphous insulin zinc suspension, semilente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-insulin | A factor, usually an antibody, which antagonises the action of insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-insulin antibody | A serologic blood test that is used to detect antibodies to insulin. This test is performed in insulin dependent diabetics who exhibit insulin resistance. The presence of antibodies denotes a positive result. (27 Sep 1997) |
