Detailed explanation-1: -One of these trunks, the right lymphatic duct, drains the upper right portion of the body, returning lymph to the bloodstream via the right subclavian vein. The other trunk, the thoracic duct, drains the rest of the body into the left subclavian vein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph from the left upper body also enters the thoracic duct. The right lymphatic duct empties the lymph into the right subclavian vein of the blood circulation, while the thoracic duct connects with the left subclavian vein.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thoracic duct drains lymph into the circulatory system at the left brachiocephalic vein between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.
Detailed explanation-4: -Blood Supply and Lymphatics The left subclavian trunk directly drains into the thoracic duct, and the right subclavian trunk continues to form the right lymphatic duct, which enters at the right venous angle (junction of the internal jugular vein and subclavian vein).
