Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central veins, which are located at the center of each liver lobule, merge together to form the hepatic veins. The hepatic ducts (A) carry bile out of the liver and do not merge with the hepatic veins. The hepatic arteries (B) and portal veins (E) bring oxygenated blood and nutrients to the liver, respectively, but do not merge with the hepatic veins. The capillary beds (C) within the liver lobules are where nutrient exchange occurs, but do not merge to form the hepatic veins.
