The cisterna chyli is a dilated sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct. It is the origin of the thoracic duct. The right lymphatic duct is a separate structure. The cisterna chyli is not related to the thymus gland's hormones. It also does not filter chyle; it is a reservoir for chyle (lymph containing fat) from the intestinal lymphatics.
