Though not all muscles work in pairs, the general principle is that one muscle moves a bone one way, and the other muscle moves it the opposite way.

Why? Because muscles can only pull, not push.For example, when you bend your arm, the biceps muscle pulls. When you want to straighten it, the biceps muscle cannot push it back. Instead, the triceps muscle that's on the back of the arm <span>pulls in the other direction.

Lymph traveling from the left arm would enter the venous circulation via the thoracic duct.

<h3>What is thoracic duct?</h3>

The largest lymphatic channel in the body's lymphatic system is the thoracic duct, commonly known as van Hoorne's canal.
Adults have an average length of 40 cm, and their abdominal origin is about 5 mm wide.
The thoracic duct runs from the root of the neck to the twelfth thoracic vertebra.
The thoracic duct enters the posterior mediastinum, remaining to the right of the vertebral column, by ascending via the diaphragm's aortic hiatus.
At the T7 vertebral level, it runs posterior to the esophagus before crossing over to the left side of the thorax at the T5 vertebral level.
The primary lymphatic channel for the return of chyle/lymph to the systemic venous system is the thoracic duct.
It drains lymph from the left side of the face and neck, left hemithorax, left upper limb, and both lower limbs.
