Lymph duct

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lymph: Lymph duct
The thoracic and right lymphatic duct
Latin	Ductus lymphaticus
Drains to	Subclavian veins

A lymph duct is a great lymphatic vessel that empties lymph into one of the subclavian veins. There are two lymph ducts in the body—the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct. The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of thorax and right halves of head and neck. The thoracic duct drains lymph into the circulatory system at the left brachiocephalic vein between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.
