DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - GLANDS-24:HEPATIC VEIN COLLECTING BLOOD OF CENTRAL VEINS: a. central vein b. sublobular vein c. interlobular vein d. hepatic vein e. portal vein

The correct answer is d. hepatic vein.<br /><br />The hepatic vein is responsible for collecting blood from the central veins in the liver and transporting it back to the heart. The central veins are small veins located within the liver lobules that collect blood from the liver tissue. The sublobular veins and interlobular veins are smaller veins that drain blood from the liver lobules into the central veins. The portal vein, on the other hand, carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver for processing and detoxification.
