Detailed explanation-1: -In over 95% of cases, the thoracic duct terminates in the internal jugular vein, the subclavian vein, or the angle between the two. The remaining 5% include termination in the external jugular vein, vertebral vein, brachiocephalic vein, suprascapular vein, and transverse cervical vein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct are two major lymph channels found close to the posterior thoracic wall. The thoracic duct commences at the L1/L2 level, anterior and slightly to the right of the vertebral bodies and travels about 38 to 45 cm to the base of the neck in adults.
