The vessels through which lymph fluid is transported are called lymphatic vessels. It is a fine duct with closed ends. The lymphatic ducts of the intestinal wall are called lacteal. Lymph flows slowly in one direction only.
The fine lymphatic ducts join to form two large ducts. namely-
1. Right lymphatic canal: The lymphatic canals located in the head, right side of the throat, right arm and right chest combine to form the right lymphatic canal. It is attached to the junction of the right subclavian vein and the right intrajugular vein.
2. Thoracic lysicanali: The lower body and left sided lysicanali join together to form the thoracic lysicanali. It is attached to the junction of the left subclavian vein and the left intrajugular vein.
