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: -The lymphatic ducts empty the lymph into your subclavian veins. These veins, located below your collarbone, join to form the superior vena cava. The vena cava returns clean lymphatic fluid to your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
