interglandular means between glands.
Why “interglandular” is a great word
Situated between or occurring between glands. From English inter- ("between") + glandular ("of or relating to glands"). Unlike "intraglandular," which locates something within a single gland's architecture, or "periglandular," which encircles the gland's periphery like a watchful fence, interglandular describes the subtle, negotiated territory of separation. It is the delicate connective tissue bridging neighboring thyroid lobes, the quiet interval between sweat glands in the thin skin of an eyelid, or the microscopic corridor where hormones cross from one secretory domain to another—a reminder that even in the body's crowded economy of function, there exists necessary space, the pause between instruments in a physiological orchestra.
