APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The right lymphatic duct receives lymph from the right side of the head, neck and thorax and right upper limb. It drains into the systemic venous system at the junction of the right internal jugular and right subclavian vein or right brachiocephalic vein within the neck.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic vessels return the lymph to the venous system via two main channels: The right lymphatic duct drains the right thorax, upper limb, head and neck. The thoracic duct drains all lymph from the lower half of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thoracic duct drains the lymph from 75% of the body, aside from the right upper right limb, right breast, right lung and right side of the head and neck (which are drained by the right lymphatic duct).

Detailed explanation-4: -The right lymphatic duct drains most of the right upper quadrant of the body, including the right upper trunk, right upper extremity, and right head and neck.
