Into what specific blood vessel does the thoracic duct return lymph to blood circulation?
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
What vein receives blood from the arm through the axillary 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.
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.
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.
Where does the thoracic duct join the venous system?
In the left subclavian vein.
Which would be the route taken by lymph traveling from lymphatic vessels in the right leg to the bloodstream?
right lumbar trunk-rightintestinal trunk-right lymphatic duct- right subclavian vein
