The left lymphatic duct, or thoracic duct, enters the circulatory system at the junction of the left jugular and subclavian veins; it returns lymph from the cranial left side of the body and caudal to the diaphragm.
The lymphatic system comprises lymph vessels, ducts and nodes, as well as other tissues as described below. The lymphatic system works in a similar way to the blood circulatory system, and in close parallel as blood returns to the heart and lymph drains towards the heart. The lymphatic vessels form a network of branches that infiltrate almost all the body's tissues.
