Hey guys. Quick question. Do lymphatic vessels drain directly into their regional veins, or do they transfer waste products and liquid through another process, such as diffusion?
 
Most lymphatics empty into the the thoracic duct, which drains into the left subclavian vein. The lymphatics from the "upper right" part of the body drain into the right lymphatic duct, which drains into the right subclavian vein.
