ileum G. eilein = to twist; distal part of small intestine (1618).
ilium L. = the flank.
immunoglobulin L. immunis = free from service, exempt + globulus = a little sphere; one of a class of proteins consisting of two polypeptide chains and functioning as an antibody.
incisor adj. L. incidere = to cut into, to notch; of the four front upper and lower teeth.

intramural L. intra = within + murus = wall; within the wall of an organ.
intussusception L. intus = within + suscipere = to receive; an invagination; the slipping ("telescoping") of one part of the intestine into a lower part.
invagination L. invaginare = to ensheath; process of pushing inwards and thereby creating a sheath.
involution L. in = into + volvere = to roll; retrogressive change with size decrease.
iris L. = a rainbow; the coloured membrane around the pupil in anterior segment of eye; a diaphragm in a microscope that can open or close a central pupil-like aperture.
isotropic G. iso = same + tropos = a turning; having the same properties in all directions.
isthmus G isthmos = a narrow passage, a land-bridge; a connecting band.
iter L. = a journey, a passage-way; a way between two anatomical structures, e.g., iter of Sylvius = midbrain aqueduct; iter chordae tympani (anterior, posterior).
