QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissection of the posterior wall of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities. This answer describes the function of thoracic duct, which drains lymph from the inferior half of the body and the superior left half of the body. However, the arrow points to one of the branches emerging from the descending aorta – one of the intercostal arteries, whose function is to supply blood to the posterior thoracic wall, parietal pleurae, the skin and muscles of the back.
