Lymphatic Trunks
- Jugular Trunks: Responsible for draining lymph from the head and neck.
- Subclavian Trunks: Function to drain lymph from the upper limbs.
- Bronchomediastinal Trunks: Specialized in draining lymph from the thoracic cavity.
- Intestinal Trunk: Primarily drains lymph from the abdominal cavity.
- Lumbar Trunks: Focused on draining lymph from the lower limbs.
Key Structures
- Cisterna Chyli: Serves as a collection point that drains both the lumbar and intestinal trunks; it marks the beginning of the thoracic duct.
Lymphatic Ducts
- Right Lymphatic Duct: Drains lymph from the right side of the head and neck, right upper limb, and right thoracic cavity.
- Thoracic Duct: The largest lymphatic duct, drains lymph from the left side of the head and neck, left upper limb, left thoracic cavity, as well as the abdominal and pelvic cavities, and lower limbs.
