The lymphatic duct is much shorter than the |thoracic duct|, only about 1/2 of an inch (1 centimeter) long. It receives ~lymph~ from right side of body above the |liver| and empties into right |subclavian vein| and |internal jugular vein|. Together with the thoracic, these ducts empty between 4 and 10 milliliters of ~lymph~ into the ~blood~ every minute.
