Subcutaneous administration involves injecting the solution into the subcutaneous tissue beneath the layers of skin (i.e. the space between the dermis and the muscle).
The muscles
it has limited capillaries and no vital organs.

Yes, a subcutaneous injection is administered into the layer of fat located just below the skin. This route of administration allows for slower absorption compared to intramuscular injections. Subcutaneous injections are commonly used for medications such as insulin and certain vaccines.
Anti-tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG) is typically administered intramuscularly (IM) for effective absorption and efficacy. While subcutaneous (SC) administration is not the standard route, it may be used in certain circumstances, but this should be determined by a healthcare professional. Always consult medical guidelines or a healthcare provider for the appropriate administration route of any vaccine or immunoglobulin.
Intermuscular (IM) is slightly faster than Subcutaneous (SC) however Intravenous (IV) is the fastest method of administration.
Parenteral refers to any route of administration that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. These routes can include Intravenous therapy (IV therapy), intramuscular/ subcutaneous/intradermal injection, buccal, sublingual, or rectal administration, or transvaginal administration (as with the vaginal contraceptive or hormone-therapy ring). Medication patches are also parenteral.
The order of absorption rates from fastest to slowest is as follows: intravenous (IV) administration provides immediate absorption, followed by intramuscular (IM) injections, which are absorbed quickly but not as fast as IV. Subcutaneous (SC) injections have a slower absorption rate than IM. Oral administration is the slowest, as it requires digestion before the drug enters the bloodstream, and sublingual administration is generally faster than oral but slower than IV and IM.
My heart, muscles,and feet are subcutaneous.
An intradermal injection is made into the middle layers of the skin.
Epidermal or topical might be considered antomyms for subcutaneous.
