Lymph returns to the venous circulation by way of draining into the subclavian veins. The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the upper right side of the body into the right subclavian vein, while the thoracic duct drains lymph from the rest of the body into the left subclavian vein. The inferior vena cava and superior vena cava are large veins that return deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. The dural sinuses are spaces between the layers of the meninges in the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
