The major lymphatic duct is the Thoracic Duct which returns lymph from the the whole body except from the right side of the head and the right arm/shoulder. These parts are drained by the Subclavian Trunk. Both vessels drain into the junction of the subclavian and jugular veins on their respective sides. Hope this helps!
