Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thoracic duct is responsible for receiving lymph from the majority of the body, including both the left and right lower quadrants, and returning it to the venous circulation at the junction of the left subclavian and left internal jugular vein. The right upper quadrant is drained by the right lymphatic duct, which is a smaller vessel that empties lymph directly into the right subclavian vein. Therefore, neither A, B, nor D are correct choices.
