thoracic duct
thoracic duct
Danh từ
Số nhiều: thoracic ducts
This term is a precise anatomical designation used primarily in medical, surgical, and biological contexts. It describes a specific structure within the lymphatic system, and as such, it is almost never encountered in casual conversation or general literature outside of healthcare or academic settings.
Because it refers to a unique, singular anatomical structure in the human body, it is treated as a countable noun in a technical sense (e.g., when discussing the thoracic ducts of multiple patients), though it is most frequently used in the singular to describe the specific vessel in a single organism.
