The right lymphatic duct empties the right internal jugular and subclavian veins. The main function of the lymphatic system is to return excess tissue fluid to the blood vascular system via the lymphatic vessels.
Thoracic Duct
The main collecting duct for the lymphatic system is the thoracic duct located alongside the aorta in the thoracic region of the body. Most lower body lymph (lymph from the front and back of both legs and the abdominal area) migrate to the thoracic duct then from the duct, lymph dumps into the left subclavian vein. The lymph then becomes part of the vascular system and the lymphatic process starts all over again.
0the component of the lymphatic system is the lymph nodes
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.
There isn't another name for the Lymphatic System, although the Lymphatic System is closely related to the Immune System because both fight germs. Collectively, they are called the Immunolymphatic System.
