Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Collecting ducts: Lymphatic vessels empty the lymph into the right lymphatic duct and left lymphatic duct (also called the thoracic duct). These ducts connect to the subclavian vein, which returns lymph to your bloodstream. The subclavian vein runs below your collarbone.
Detailed explanation-2: -After collecting in the cisterna chyli, lymph flows proximally through the thoracic duct, and ultimately empties in the venous circulation at the junction of the left internal jugular and subclavian veins.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymph moves through the lymph sinuses and enters an efferent lymphatic vessel, which, located at an indented region called the hilum, carries the lymph away from the node.
