lobes
Rounded anatomical projections
Lobes are rounded projecting parts of something larger.
The brain has lobes (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital), as do the lungs and liver.
The fleshy lower part of the ear is its lobe.
Plant leaves may have lobes—rounded divisions that don't extend to the center.
The tumor was located in the right lobe of her liver.
