The left bronchomediastinal lymph trunk often empties into the thoracic duct or directly into the venous angle, where the internal jugular and subclavian veins converge. Similarly, the right trunk may connect to the right lymphatic duct or end at the right venous angle . [ 2 ]
In humans, the cisterna chyli is located posterior to the abdominal aorta on the anterior aspect of the bodies of the first and second lumbar vertebrae (L1 and L2). There it forms the beginning of the primary lymph vessel, the thoracic duct, which transports lymph and chyle from the abdomen via the aortic opening of the diaphragm up to the junction of left subclavian vein and internal jugular ...
The lymphatic vessels that link the lymph nodes are: The lymphatics of the head, face, neck, and meningeal lymphatic vessels – drain to the deep cervical lymph nodes; The jugular trunk; The subclavian lymph trunk; The thoracic duct; The lymphatics of the upper extremity; The right and left bronchomediastinal lymph trunks; The lymphatics of ...
Deep lymph nodes and vessels of the thorax and abdomen (diagrammatic). Afferent vessels are represented by continuous lines, and efferent and internodular vessels by dotted lines. The tracheobronchial lymph glands.
Diagram showing parts of the body that drain into the right lymphatic duct. The right duct drains lymph fluid from: the upper right section of the trunk, (right thoracic cavity, via the right bronchomediastinal trunk) [1] the right arm (via the right subclavian trunk) [1] and right side of the head and neck (via the right jugular trunk) [1]
Lymph trunk is a collection of lymph vessels that carries lymph, and is formed by confluence of many efferent lymph vessels. It in turn drains into one of the two lymph ducts ( right lymph duct and the thoracic duct ).
