    These are drained by the right lymphatic duct. [1] Diagram showing parts of the body that drain into the right lymphatic duct. The lymph transport, in the thoracic duct, is mainly caused by the action of breathing, aided by the duct's smooth muscle and by internal valves which prevent the lymph from flowing back down again.

    The vas deferens has a dense sympathetic innervation, [16] making it a useful system for studying sympathetic nerve function and for studying drugs that modify neurotransmission. [7] It has been used: as a bioassay for the discovery of enkephalins, the endogenous opiates. [17] to demonstrate quantal transmission from sympathetic nerve terminals ...

    An intralobular duct is the portion of an exocrine gland inside a lobule, leading directly from acinus to an interlobular duct (between lobules). It is composed of two subdivisions, the intercalated duct and the striated duct. In the human mammary gland, the intralobular duct is a part of the glandular system that resides within the lobules.
