True. The hepatic veins do indeed drain the blood from the liver and return it to the inferior vena cava. The hepatic veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the liver, after it has been filtered and processed, back to the heart. The blood then enters the right atrium of the heart through the inferior vena cava, where it continues its circulation throughout the body.
