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
The superior or the upper extremity is served by the subclavian artery and vein. Subclavian means below the clavicle bone.

The subclavian vein is involved in 40% of cases and the subclavian artery in 1% of cases.
In the human, the brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the internal jugular and the subclavian vein on each side. In the cat, the brachiocephalic vein is formed by the union of the external jugular and the subclavian vein on each side.
The right lymphatic duct empties into the right subclavian vein, located at the junction of the right internal jugular vein and right subclavian vein. In contrast, the thoracic duct drains into the left subclavian vein, at the junction of the left internal jugular vein and left subclavian vein. These ducts are crucial for returning lymphatic fluid to the bloodstream.
