Lymph nodes are small glands that filter lymph, the clear fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system.

Right lymphatic duct It is a short (usually absent) vessel, which drains the lymph from the right side of head, neck, right forelimb and thorax. When absent, several ducts open directly into thoracic duct or jugular confluence. It is formed by the union of right tracheal lymph duct and the efferents of right posterior cervical
