Question

• A. Right lymphatic duct
• B. Thoracic lymphatic duct
• C. Left subclavian vein
• D. Right subclavian vein

Answer 1

The correct option is B Thoracic lymphatic duct

The thoracic duct usually starts from the level of the twelfth thoracic vertebrae (T12) and extends to the root of the neck. It drains into the systemic circulation at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins, at the commencement of the brachiocephalic vein.

So the correct answer is option B.
