Detailed explanation-1: -Some lymph nodes are clustered under the skin, particularly in the neck, armpits, and groin. Other lymph nodes are deep within the body, for example inside the abdomen. The lymphatic vessels drain into collecting ducts, which empty their contents into the two subclavian veins, located under the collarbones.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Blood vessels deliver oxygen and nutrients to virtually all cells in developing mammalian embryos and adults, whereas lymphatic vessels drain the interstitial fluid that collects in tissues, and serve as a conduit for immune cell trafficking and fat absorption.
