A similar confluence of three lymphatic trunks occurs on the right side of the body. Emptying into the junction between the right internal jugular and right subclavian veins are: the right jugular trunk from the head and neck, the right subclavian trunk from the right upper limb, and occasionally, the right bronchomediastinal trunk carrying lymph from the structures in the right half of the thoracic cavity and the right upper intercostal spaces (Fig. 8.196).
