A curved or rounded projection or division, especially of a body organ or part.
A division to about halfway of any organ;
A part of the calyx or corolla that is distinct from the lower, united/fused part.
A projecting segment of an organ, mtoo large to be called a tooth, but with the adjoining sinuses usually extending less than halfway to the base or midline.
A usually rounded or pointed projecting part, usually one of two or more, each separated by a gap.
A large indentation on the margin of a leaf.
A division of an organ; a segment of a palmately or pinnately lobed, cleft, or parted leaf.
A botanical term meaning a round division of a leaf.
A usually rounded or pointed projecting part, usually one of two or more, each separated by a gap.
Any division of a leaf or other organ.
A part of a leaf with a deep sinus separating it from other parts of the leaf.
One of the divisions in which a scalloped leaf, such as a maple or ivy leaf, is not quite divided; similarly in the corollas of flowers with united petals such as campanulas.
A segment of an incompletely divided plant part, typically rounded; often used in reference to leaves.
Any anatomically well-defined part of a large organ separated from the rest of the organ by clefts, e.g., ear lobe, lobe of the lungs.
A rounded section of an organ such as the brain, lung or liver.
The soft fleshy part at the bottom of the ear.
A cusp on the crown of a tooth.
Any division of a leaf or any other flat part of a plant, formed by the deep indentation of its margin. A typical maple leaf is a lobed leaf, though the lobes of maples are commonly toothed as well. Lobes can take many forms and shapes. A lobed leaf is not the same as a compound leaf, though the leaflets of some compound leaves may be lobed (for example, those of Koelreuteria paniculata).
Rounded part of an organ, separated from other parts of the organ by connective tissue or fissures; the brain, liver, and lungs are divided into lobes.
One part of a clearly divisible organ; examples include the brain, lungs, and liver. A lobe may also be an extension of a structure, such as the earlobe.
A major division of an organ or part of an organ, especially one having a rounded form and often separated from other lobes by fissures or bands of connective tissue. For example, the brain, liver, and lung are divided into lobes.
The term applied to the larger divisions of various organs, such as to the four lobes of the liver, the three lobes of the right and the two lobes of the left lung, which are separated by fissures from one another, and to the lobes or superficial areas into which the brain is divided. The term lobar is applied to structures which are connected with lobes of organs, or to diseases which have a tendency to be limited by the boundaries of lobes, such as lobar pneumonia.
A fairly well-defined part of an organ separated by boundaries, especially glandular organs and the brain.
One of the distinct segments into which specific organs, like the brain, liver, and lungs, can be compartmentalized. This term can also be employed to refer to the earlobe.
A section of an organ that is distinct from its adjacent area due to a notch or gap.
