Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hypodermic injection is given under the skin, whereas exodermal, mesodermal, and transdermal do not specifically refer to a subcutaneous injection. Exodermal refers to the outermost layer of skin, mesodermal refers to the middle layer of skin, and transdermal refers to a medication delivery method that penetrates through the skin and into the bloodstream.
