The Ductus lymphaticus dexter is a short trunk which receives thelymphatic vessels from the right side of the head and neck, rightupper extremity, right side of the thorax, right lung, and one or twobranches from the liver, and terminates at the junction of the rightsubclavian with the right internal jugular vein, at the point wherethese veins unite to form the right vena innominata. It is providedat its termination with a pair of semilunar valves, which prevent theentrance of blood from the veins. CHAPTER IX. ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. The nervous system consists of a central organ, the cerebro-spinalcentre or axis, and of numerous rounded and flattened white cords,the nerves, which are connected by one extremity with the cerebro-spinal centre, and by the other are distributed to all the text
