| caudate 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.

| glandular lobe of hypophysis | It consists of the distal part, intermediate part, and infundibular part. See: hypophysis. Synonym: lobus anterior hypophyseos, anterior lobe of hypophysis, glandular lobe of hypophysis, lobus glandularis hypophyseos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal lobe | One of the subdivisions of the kidney, consisting of a renal pyramid and the cortical tissue associated with it. Synonym: lobus renalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Riedel's lobe | An occasional tongue-like process extending downward from the right lobe of the liver lateral to the gallbladder; a similar process may, though rarely, extend from the left lobe. Synonym: lobus appendicularis, lobus linguiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right duct of caudate lobe | The bile duct from the right half of the caudate lobe, a tributary to the right hepatic duct. Synonym: ductus lobi caudati dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right lobe | The right subdivision of several glands, e.g., prostate, thyroid, thymus. Synonym: lobus dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right lobe of liver | The largest lobe of the liver, separated from the left lobe above and in front by the falciform ligament and from the caudate and quadrate lobes by the sulcus for the vena cava and the fossa for the gallbladder; it contains two segments, anterior and posterior. Synonym: lobus hepatis dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right middle lobe syndrome | <radiology> Controversial, associated with asthma, cough, wheezing, recurrent pneumonia, XR findings: total or partial RML atelectasis, with or without bronchial narrowing (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromophobe cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Cell's of the adenohypophysis that are devoid of specific acidophilic or basophilic granules when stained with common differential stains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lobe branch | Middle lobe branch of 1) the right pulmonary artery (arteriae pulmonalis dextrae ); 2) the right superior pulmonary vein (venae pulmonalis dextrae superior ). Synonym: ramus lobi medii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lobe of prostate | The portion of the prostate lying between the urethra and the ejaculatory ducts; indistinct unless hypertrophied. Synonym: lobus medius prostatae, Morgagni's caruncle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lobe of right lung | It is located anteriorly between the horizontal and oblique fissures and includes lateral and medial bronchopulmonary segments. Synonym: lobus medius pulmonis dextri. (05 Mar 2000) |

| polar lobe | <marine biology> In some molluscs a polar lobe appears as a clear protrusion close to the vegetal pole of the cell prior to the first cleavage and becomes associated with only one of the daughter cells. Removal of the first polar lobe or of any polar lobe that forms at a subsequent mitosis, leads to defects in the embryo, it seems that the polar lobe contains special morphogenetic factors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| polyalveolar lobe | A type of congenital anomaly where a severalfold increase in the total alveolar number leads to congenital lobar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
