Take Me Home, Country Roads

The song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” reminds the listener of nature’s beauty, rolling hills, heaven, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River. Maybe the vistas along interstate highway 81 inspired the songwriter anxious to be home in West Virginia. In a way, the song reminds me of the lymphatic drainage of the abdomen. While we know now that abdominal lymph fluid flows to specific nodes, once it reaches the cisterna chyli it rushes into the thoracic duct to make its way back into the general circulation, as in the song’s lyric: “to the place I belong” to avoid edema and/or ascites fluid buildup.

Question: Lymphatic drainage from which indicated region drains initially to the pyloric lymph nodes?
