Lymph duct
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 lymph duct and the thoracic duct. The former drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of thorax and right halves of head and neck. Remember that this in anatomical terms. This means that "right" and "left" refer to your own view as you look down at your body. If you were looking at someone else, the "right" upper limb would be on your left side and vice versa.
These vessels have three layers in their walls comparable to the great veins.
