What is the difference between the lymph duct and the thoracic duct?
The lymph duct, often referred to as lymphatic vessels, are a network of vessels that transport lymph throughout the body, collecting excess interstitial fluid and returning it to the bloodstream. The thoracic duct, on the other hand, is the largest lymphatic vessel, specifically responsible for draining lymph from the lower body, left side of the head, neck, chest, and left arm. It empties the collected lymph into the bloodstream at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins. In summary, while lymph ducts refer to the broader network of lymphatic vessels, the thoracic duct is a specific, major conduit within that system.
