Detailed explanation-1: -The thoracic duct is the largest lymphatic vessel in the human body. Around 75% of the lymph from the entire body (aside from the right upper limb, right breast, right lung and right side of the head and neck) passes through the thoracic duct.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two major lymphatics of the body include the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct. The right duct drains most of the right upper quadrant whereas the thoracic duct drains the lower body including the extremities and abdomen. To ensure that fluid does not flow backward, all lymphatic have one-way valves.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
