The region of the hepatic acinus immediately surrounding the central veins. This region has the lowest oxygen concentration in the acinus. Zone 3 is located in the centrilobular region of the liver lobule, closest to the central vein. Hepatocytes in this region are the primary location for the biotransformation of drugs.
