What is the function of the left jugular trunk?

The left jugular trunk is a major lymphatic vessel that collects lymph from the left side of the head, neck, and parts of the thorax. It drains lymph into the thoracic duct, which ultimately returns the lymph to the bloodstream at the junction of the left internal jugular and subclavian veins. This process is essential for maintaining fluid balance and immune function in the body.

What region surrounding the crease in the skin at the junction of the upper leg with the trunk?

The region surrounding the crease in the skin at the junction of the upper leg with the trunk is called the inguinal region. This area is important for lymphatic drainage, blood vessels, and nerves that supply the lower limbs. It is also a common site for hernias to occur due to the natural weakness in the abdominal wall in this area.


What are the two major lymphatic vessels of the body?

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! Aj :) The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper extremity, head, and thorax. This duct is not present in all. For those with no right lymphatic duct, the lymph trunks drain directly into the veins of the neck

What lymphatic duct absorbs fat from the digestive system?

The cisterna chyli collects lymph from the two lumbar trunks which drain the lower limbs and it collects lymph from the intestinal trunk which drains the digestive organs. So, yes it receives lymph drainage from the digestive organs. It is mainly responsible for"white-fat" drainage, as the name implies. Most people are unaware that the lymphatic system is what moves the fats around in your body.
