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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph nodes are small clumps of tissue along the network of lymph vessels that clean lymph as it moves through them. They filter out viruses, bacteria, and fungi that can cause illnesses. Most lymph nodes are in clusters in the neck, armpit, and groin area.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
