Beneath the skin.<\/p>\n

Relating to or located below the epidermis. A hypodermic needle is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject substances into the body. May also be used to take liquid samples from the body, such as taking blood from a vein in venipuncture.<\/p>\n

Usually applied to subcutaneous injections. The term is also applied to the syringe used for such injections, and sometimes (loosely) to any injection.<\/p>\n

\n

A term pertaining to the region immediately under the skin. Thus, a hypodermic injection means an injection given underneath the skin. A hypodermic syringe is a small syringe which, fitted with a fine needle, is used to give such injections.<\/p>\n

\n

Under or inserted under the skin, as a hypodermic injection. A hypodermic injection may be given subcutaneously (under the skin), intracutaneously (into the skin), intramuscularly (into a muscle), intraspinally (into the spinal canal), or intravascularly (into a vein or artery). It is given to secure prompt action of a drug when the drug cannot be taken by mouth, when it may not be readily absorbed in the stomach or intestines, when it might be changed by the action of the gastric secretions, or it acts as an anesthetic about the site of injection.<\/p>\n
