Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thoracic duct is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body and receives lymph from both the intestinal and lumbar trunks. If the thoracic duct is blocked, drainage from both of these trunks would be prevented. 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, while the left lymphatic duct only receives lymph from the rest of the body. The bronchiomediastinal trunks drain lymph from the thoracic viscera and thoracic walls.
