| posterior lobe of hypophysis | It is composed of the infundibulum and the nervous lobe of hypophysis. See: hypophysis. Synonym: lobus posterior hypophyseos, neural part of hypophysis, pars nervosa hypophyseos, posterior lobe of hypophysis. Origin: neuro-+ hypophysis (05 Mar 2000) |

| cuneiform lobe | A lobule on the undersurface of each cerebellar hemisphere, divided by a curved sulcus into a lateral and medial portion; it corresponds to the pyramid of the vermis. Synonym: lobulus biventer, biventral lobule, cuneiform lobe, lobulus biventralis, lobulus cuneiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Home's lobe | The enlarged middle lobe of the prostate gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal lobe of thyroid gland | <anatomy> An inconstant narrow lobe of the thyroid gland that arises from the upper border of the isthmus and extends upward, sometimes as far as the hyoid bone; it marks the point of continuity with the thyroglossal duct. Synonym: lobus pyramidalis glandulae thyroideae, Lallouette's pyramid, Morgagni's appendix, pyramid of thyroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Spigelius' lobe | A small lobe of the liver situated posteriorly between the sulcus for the vena cava and the fissure for the ligamentum venosum. Synonym: caudate lobe, Spigelius' lobe. Lobi cerebri, the major divisions of the cerebral hemisphere; they include the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, named for the overlying bones of the skull. Synonym: lobes of cerebrum. Lobus clivi, the clivus monticuli and the posterior crescentic lobules of the cerebellum considered as one lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervous lobe | The bulbous part of the neurohypophysis attached to the hypothalamus by the infundibulum. It is composed of pituicytes, blood vessels, and terminals of nerve fibres from the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. Synonym: lobus nervosus, nervous lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervous lobe of hypophysis | The bulbous part of the neurohypophysis attached to the hypothalamus by the infundibulum. It is composed of pituicytes, blood vessels, and terminals of nerve fibres from the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. Synonym: lobus nervosus, nervous lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior lobe of lung | The lobe of the right lung that lies above the oblique and horizontal fissures and includes the apical, posterior and anterior bronchopulmonary segments; in the left lung, the lobe lies above the oblique fissure and contains the apicoposterior, anterior, superior lingular and inferior lingular segments. Synonym: lobus superior pulmonis, upper lobe of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supplemental lobe | In dental anatomy, an extra lobe; one that is not included in the typical formation of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta cell of anterior lobe of hypophysis | A variety of cell having basophilic granules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| distal part of anterior lobe of hypophysis | The larger part of the adenohypophysis composed of cords of epithelial cells individually specialised to secrete various tropic hormones that exert their effect on several target organs in the body. The secretory activity of these cells is under the control of either releasing or inhibiting factors elaborated by hypothalamic neurons and transported to the adenohypophysis by the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal system. Synonym: pars distalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quadrate lobe | A lobe on the inferior surface of the liver located between the fossa for the gallbladder and the fissure for the ligamentum teres. Synonym: quadrangular lobule. Synonym: precuneus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior lobe of lung | It is located below and behind the oblique fissure and contains five bronchopulmonary segments: superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral basal, and posterior basal. Synonym: lobus inferior pulmonis, lower lobe of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isthmus of limbic lobe | The narrowing of the cingulate gyrus, at its transition with the hippocampal gyrus behind and below the splenium of the corpus callosum, caused by the anterior extension of the conjoined parieto-occipital and calcarine sulci. Synonym: isthmus gyri cinguli, isthmus of gyrus fornicatus, isthmus of limbic lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital lobe | House the visual interpretation centres. (27 Sep 1997) |
