Question

Which of the following statement can be associated to the subclavian vein?

• B. It forms brachiocephalic vein.
• C. The left thoracic duct drains into the subclavian vein.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

Subclavian vein runs from the outer border of the first rib to the medial border of the anterior scalene muscle. It carries lymph from the lymphatic system and forms the brachiocephalic vein. The thoracic duct drains into the left subclavian vein, near its junction with the left inter jugular vein.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
