Blood moves centrally through the sinusoids toward the central vein. The central vein drains venous blood away from the lobule, into a sublobular vein that courses along at the base of the lobule. Sublobular veins unite to form larger veins which can be seen in solitary as tributaries of the main hepatic vein. The sinusoids are lined by endothelial cells and phagocytic Kupffer cells . The blood sinusoids receive blood from the distributing branches of the hepatic portal vein and to a lesser extent, from branches of the hepatic artery at the outer margins of the lobule.

The central vein drains venous blood away from the lobule, into a sublobular vein that courses along at the base of the lobule. Sublobular veins unite to form larger veins which can be seen in solitary as tributaries of the main hepatic vein. This contains branches or tributaries of four structures which are surrounded by loose connective tissue. These four structures are- interlobular branches of hepatic portal vein , hepatic artery , bile duct , and a lymph vessel . Bile passes through the canaliculi towards the periphery of the lobules where it is conducted into branches of the bile duct called bile ductules.
