APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph flows away from the tissues to lymph nodes and eventually to either the right lymphatic duct or the largest lymph vessel in the body, the thoracic duct. These vessels drain into the right and left subclavian veins respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphatic capillaries-> lymphatic collecting vessels-> lymphatic trunks-> lymphatic ducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -List the order of lymph vessels as lymph flows from the tissue to the subclavian vein. Lymphatic capillaries, afferent lymphatic vessel, lymph node, efferent lymphatic vessel, lymphatic trunk, collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymphatic vessels collect and filter lymph (at the nodes) as it continues to move toward larger vessels called collecting ducts. These vessels operate very much like your veins do: They work under very low pressure, have a series of valves in them to keep the fluid moving in one direction.
