Which type of injection would allow a drug to be absorbed more rapidly -- intradermal or subcutaneous (a shallow injection just deep to the epidermis)? why?

The correct answer should be intradermal because there are more blood vessels and veins. Subcutaneous would only affect through the capillaries. Intradermally you can pierce the vein directly and put the drug in.
