Modes of Origin of Thoracic Duct

(Poirier and Charpy.)

Legend
  • a. - Thoracic duct.
  • a'. - Cisterna chyli.
  • b, c' - Efferent trunks from lateral aortic glands.
  • d. - An efferent vessel which pierces the left crus of the diaphragm.
  • e. f. - Lateral aortic glands.
  • h. - Retroaortic glands.
  • i. - Intestinal trunk.
  • j. - Descending branch from intercostal lymphatics.
Cisterna chyli - (receptaculum chyli) (Fig. 600) receives the two lumbar lymphatic trunks, right and left, and the intestinal lymphatic trunk. The lumbar trunks are formed by the union of the efferent vessels from the lateral aortic lymph glands. They receive the lymph from the lower limbs, from the walls and viscera of the pelvis, from the kidneys and suprarenal glands and the deep lymphatics of the greater part of the abdominal wall. The intestinal trunk receives the lymph from the stomach and intestine, from the pancreas and spleen, and from the lower and front part of the liver.
