What is the lenght of the right lymphatic duct?

About 1.25cm. It varies depending on how big the personage is.
It drains lymph from the right side of the head and right arm into the subclavian artery where the capillary meets the internal jugular artery. It's very small and sturdy to find on a cadaver. I have still on the other hand to see a real one. The thoracic duct is a great deal easier to find.
Gray's Anatomy has a correct picture. For some strange reason, wikipedia have a lot of pictures from that book.

Netter have good pictures too, but you can't access it online short having bought the book.
