A lymph duct is a great lymphatic vessel that empties lymph into one of the subclavian veins. There are two lymph ducts in the human body—the right lymphatic...

larger lymph duct. Lymph ducts drain the lymph into one of the subclavian veins and thus return it to general circulation. The vessels that bring lymph away...

two lymph ducts (right lymph duct and the thoracic duct). When an efferent lymph vessel leaves a lymph node, it may carry lymph to another lymph node...

retroaortic lymph nodes, and others pierce the crura of the diaphragm to join the lower end of the thoracic duct. The lateral aortic lymph nodes, typically...

The intercostal lymph nodes (intercostal glands) occupy the posterior parts of the intercostal spaces, in relation to the intercostal vessels. They receive...
