Answer 1

Flow of lymph:

Lymph-lymph capillaries-lymph vessel (thoracic duct) -right subclavian vein- superior vena cava - right atrium of heart

Explanation:

The special lymphatic vessel, the right thoracic duct, will collect the lymph from lymph capillaries running in the right upper portions of the body like the right arm, right thorax, neck and head regions and will drain it to the right subclavian vein running below the right collar bone.

The lymph fluid from right subclavian vein then joins the left subclavian vein to enter the superior vena cava which then enters the right atrium of the heart.
