Abstract
This section is an extension of chapter 17, which introduced you to the descriptive, functional, and clinical anatomy of the lymphatic system. We now continue that discussion by examining vessels and nodes engaged in the lymphatic drainage of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, and conclude with the general plan of lymphatics draining upper and lower limbs.
