Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic ducts empty the lymph into your subclavian veins. These veins, located below your collarbone, join to form the superior vena cava. The vena cava returns clean lymphatic fluid to your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic vessels drain into collecting ducts, which empty their contents into the two subclavian veins, located under the collarbones. These veins join to form the superior vena cava, the large vein that drains blood from the upper body into the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The deep lymphatics of the liver follow the connective tissue around the hepatic veins all the way to the inferior vena cava, where they flow in the posterior mediastinal lymph nodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph vessels are tubes that carry lymph through the body to lymph nodes and back to veins. The network of lymph vessels is similar to blood vessels (arteries and veins) that carry blood. Lymph vessels carry waste products, germs and damaged cells away from the body’s tissues.
