Question

Main collecting duct of lymphatic system is?

Answer 1

• The lymphatic system is also known as the secondary circulatory system of the body and is closely linked to the blood circulatory system.
• The lymph duct refers to the lymphatic vessels which empty the lymph into one of the two subclavian veins- the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct.
• The right lymphatic duct empties the lymph from the right upper limb, the right side of the thorax and right halves of head and neck.
• The thoracic duct is the major lymphatic duct that empties the lymph from the rest of the body and brings it to blood circulation.
