It also collects most of the lymph in the body other than from the right side which is drained by the right lymphatic duct.

There are two lymph ducts in the body-the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct.

The right lymphatic duct drains its lymph into the junction of the right internal jugular vein, and the right subclavian vein.

A right lymphatic duct collects lymph from the upper right quadrant of the body including the right arm and right side of the head and chest.

The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of thorax and right halves of head and neck.

From the right jugular lymphatic sac, the right lymphatic duct and the jugular and the subclavicular lymphatic trunks form.

It is absorbed from the various tissues and organs of the body, and is finally discharged by the thoracic and right lymphatic ducts into the great veins near the heart.

The lymphatic system drains the head and neck of excess interstitial fluid via lymph vessels or capillaries, equally into the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct.

Generally, lymph flows away from the tissues to lymph nodes and eventually to either the right lymphatic duct or the largest lymph vessel in the body, the thoracic duct.

The efferents of the glands in the upper spaces of the left side end in the thoracic duct; those of the corresponding right spaces, in the right lymphatic duct.

The right bronchomediastinal trunk may join the right lymphatic duct, and the left the thoracic duct, but more frequently they open independently of these ducts into the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins of their own side.
