Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The spleen is located in the abdominal (tummy) area on the left side, just under the diaphragm. It is the largest of our lymphatic organs. The spleen does many things as it filters and monitors our blood. It contains a range of cells, including macrophages – the body’s garbage trucks.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thoracic duct, also known as the left lymphatic duct or van Hoorne’s canal, is the largest of the body’s lymphatic channels. It drains most of the body except for the territory of the right superior thorax, head, neck, and upper extremity served by the right lymphatic duct.
