Explanation
The flow of lymph is always unidirectional, meaning that it flows in one direction only. This is because the lymphatic system is a one-way system. Lymph flows from the tissues, through the lymphatic vessels, and eventually back into the bloodstream. The flow of lymph is always towards the thoracic duct. The thoracic duct is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body. It is located in the chest and it drains lymph from the upper body, including the arms, head, and neck. The lymph then flows into the bloodstream through the subclavian vein.
