All the body's lymphatic vessels (except the those in the right part of the torso, the right arm, and the right side of the neck and head) the drain lymphatic fluid that is collected from all the rest of the body's tissues into the thoracic duct and into left subclavian vein. The lymphatic fluid from the right part of the torso, the right arm, and the right side of the neck and head drain into the right lymphatic duct and then into the right subclavian vein.
