What is the larger and longer of the two lymphatic collecting ducts?
The larger and longer of the two lymphatic collecting ducts is the Thoracic Duct. The other collecting duct is the Right Lymphatic Duct. There are many lymphatic vessels in the body, all of which, like the blood vessels, start as tiny capillaries and gradually get larger as they get nearer to the heart, until they eventually merge into one of the two collecting ducts.
What is the function of the lymphatic duct?
Right Lymphatic Duct is a major LYMPH VESSEL that collects LYMPH draining from the right upper body and head. The right lymphatic duct is about a quarter-inch in diameter and two inches long, adjacent to the subclavian VEIN beneath the clavicle (collarbone). It empties into the right subclavian vein, delivering lymph to the bloodstream.
The right lymphatic duct receives lymph coming from the?
Right side of the head, neck, right upper limb, and right thorax.
How does the way lymph drains from the right thoracic duct differ from the way it drains from the left thoracic duct?
The right upper part of the body drains lymphatic fluid into the right lymphatic duct and into the right subclavian vein. The left side of the body, including the legs, drains into the thoracic duct and then into the left subclavian vein.
Which portions of the body are drained by the thoracic duct?
The Thoracic Duct drains into the Left subclavian vein. Worth noting is there is a Right lymphatic duct which drains the lymph fluid from the right arm and the right side of the face. This dumps into the right subclavian vein. The Thoracic Duct drains everything else.

All the body's lymphatic vessels (except the those in the right part of the torso, the right arm, and the right side of the neck and head) the drain lymphatic fluid that is collected from all the rest of the body's tissues into the thoracic duct and into left subclavian vein. The lymphatic fluid from the right part of the torso, the right arm, and the right side of the neck and head drain into the right lymphatic duct and then into the right subclavian vein.
What merges to form the right lymphatic duct?

The long thoracic duct begins at the cysterna chyli and continues superiorly to drain the lymph from the legs, abdomen, left arm, and left side of the thorax, neck, and head into the left subclavian vein, then on to its juncture with an internal jugular vein to drain lymph into venous blood
Vessels in the lymphatic system?
