Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lymph from the right leg drains into the right and left common iliac lymph nodes and then into the right and left lumbar trunks. From there, it enters the cisterna chyli and continues upward in the thoracic duct. The thoracic duct empties into the left subclavian vein, so option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because the right lymphatic duct only receives lymph from the right upper limb, right side of the thorax, and right side of the head and neck, not from the right leg. Option B is incorrect because it includes the right lymphatic duct, which does not receive lymph from the right leg. Option D is incorrect because the thoracic duct empties into the left subclavian vein, not the right subclavian vein.
