The central vein of liver (or central venules) [UCDavisOrganology|digestive/mammal/liver3/liver2] are veins found at the center of a "classic" hepatic lobule.

They receive the blood mixed in the liver sinusoids and returns it to circulation via the hepatic vein. [DorlandsDict|eight/000114710|central veins of liver]
