Posterior parietal cortex

lobe (lōb)

1. a more or less well-defined portion of an organ or gland.

2. one of the main divisions of a tooth crown.lo´bar

caudate lobe a small lobe of the liver between the inferior vena cava and the left lobe.

ear lobe the lower fleshy part of the external ear.

frontal lobe the rostral (anterior) portion of the cerebral hemisphere.

hepatic lobes the lobes of the liver, designated the right and left and the caudate and quadrate.

insular lobe insula.

occipital lobe the most posterior portion of the cerebral hemisphere, forming a small part of its dorsolateral surface.

parietal lobe the upper central portion of the cerebral hemisphere, between the frontal and occipital lobes, and above the temporal lobe.

polyalveolar lobe a congenital disorder characterized in early infancy by far more than the normal number of alveoli in the lung lobes; thereafter, normal multiplication of alveoli does not take place and they become enlarged, i.e., emphysematous.

quadrate lobe

1. precuneus.

2. a small lobe of the liver, between the gallbladder on the right, and the left lobe.

spigelian lobe caudate l. of liver.

temporal lobe the lower lateral lobe of the cerebral hemisphere.

parietal lobe

The middle portion of each cerebral hemisphere, separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus, from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus, and from the occipital lobe only partially by the parieto-occipital sulcus on its medial aspect.

parietal lobe,

a portion of each cerebral hemisphere that occupies the parts of the lateral and medial surfaces that are covered by the parietal bone. On the lateral surface of the hemisphere the parietal lobe is separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus and from the temporal lobe by an imaginary line that extends from the posterior ramus of the lateral sulcus toward the occipital pole. It is concerned with language mechanisms and general sensory functions. Compare central lobe, frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe.

lobe [lōb]

1. a more or less well defined portion of an organ or gland.

2. one of the main divisions of a tooth crown.

azygos lobe (lobe of azygos vein) a small anomalous lobe situated at the apex of the right lung, produced when the azygos vein arches over the upper part of the lung instead of at the hilus and presses deeply into the lung tissue to form a fissure that isolates a medial part of the lung.

caudate lobe a small lobe of the liver between the inferior vena cava on the right and the left lobe.

ear lobe the lower fleshy, noncartilaginous portion of the external ear.

flocculonodular lobe one of the main subdivisions of the cerebellum, located inferiorly, consisting of the paired flocculi, their peduncles, and the nodule of the vermis.

frontal lobe the anterior portion of the gray matter of each cerebral hemisphere.

hepatic lobe one of the lobes of the liver, designated the right and left and the caudate and quadrate.

l's of lung the five major subdivisions of the lungs. see accompanying illustration and see lung.

The lobes of the lungs. From Frazier et al., 2000.
