A small lobe, often on a lobe.<\/p>\n
A small section of a lobe in the lung, formed of acini.<\/p>\n
A subdivision of a part or organ that can be distinguished from the whole by boundaries, such as septa, that are visible with or without a microscope. For example, the lobule of the liver is a structural and functional unit seen in cross-section under a microscope as a column of cells drained by a central vein and bounded by a branch of the portal vein. The lung lobule is a practical subdivision of the lung tissue seen macroscopically in lung slices as outlined by incomplete septa of fibrous tissue. It is made up of three to five lung acini.<\/p>\n
A small lobe or primary subdivision of a lobe. It is typical of the pancreas and major salivary glands and may be represented on the surface by bumps or bulges as seen on the thyroid gland.<\/p>\n
A diminutive lobe or subunit, frequently characterized by raised areas or protuberances, observed on the surface of a gland.<\/p>\n
A minor subdivision within a lobe of organs like the liver or lung. Lobules are demarcated by partitions such as septa, which act as dividing walls.<\/p>\n
