lymphatic duct

You take away the nodes under the jaw, and suddenly it turns out that the deep lymphatic ducts are affected too.

A left lymphatic duct collects lymph from the left side of the upper torso.

It also collects most of the lymph in the body other than from the right side which is drained by the right lymphatic duct.

Scarring of the left or right subclavian lymphatic ducts by either surgery or radiation.

The cysterna chyli drains into a pair of thoracic lymphatic ducts initially.

Invasion of the local lymphatic ducts impairs drainage and causes edematous swelling of the breast.

There are two lymph ducts in the body-the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct.

Lymphatic fluid gathers from the tissues and enters the valved lymphatic ducts.

It is also known as the left lymphatic duct, alimentary duct, chyliferous duct, and Van Hoorne's canal.

The right lymphatic duct drains its lymph into the junction of the right internal jugular vein, and the right subclavian vein.

CDT is a primary tool in lymphedema management consisting of manual manipulation of the lymphatic ducts, short-stretch compression bandaging, therapeutic exercise, and skin care.

The right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of thorax and right halves of head and neck.

From the right jugular lymphatic sac, the right lymphatic duct and the jugular and the subclavicular lymphatic trunks form.

It is absorbed from the various tissues and organs of the body, and is finally discharged by the thoracic and right lymphatic ducts into the great veins near the heart.

Manual manipulation of the lymphatic ducts consists of gentle, rhythmic massaging of the skin to stimulate the flow of lymph and its return to the blood circulation system.

The lymphatic system drains the head and neck of excess interstitial fluid via lymph vessels or capillaries, equally into the right lymphatic duct and the thoracic duct.

Generally, lymph flows away from the tissues to lymph nodes and eventually to either the right lymphatic duct or the largest lymph vessel in the body, the thoracic duct.

By strategically cutting and placing Kinesio Tape above the area of swelling it assists in the removal of edema (swelling) by directing the exudates toward lymphatic ducts.

The efferents of the glands in the upper spaces of the left side end in the thoracic duct; those of the corresponding right spaces, in the right lymphatic duct.

In humans, the adult worms reside in the lymphatic ducts and are found mostly in the afferent lymphatic channels of the lymph glands in the lower part of the body.

Eventually, the lymph vessels empty into the lymphatic ducts, which drain into one of the two subclavian veins (near the junctions of the subclavian veins with the internal jugular veins).

In the mediastinal lymph nodes arises lymphatic ducts, which drains the lymph to the left subclavian vein (to the venous angle in the confluence of the subclavian and deep jugular veins).

The right bronchomediastinal trunk may join the right lymphatic duct, and the left the thoracic duct, but more frequently they open independently of these ducts into the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins of their own side.

The suspensory ligaments of Cooper play an important role in the change in appearance of the breast that often accompanies the development of inflammatory carcinoma of the breast in which blockage of the local lymphatic ducts causes swelling of the breast.
