Lymph duct
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
.
