lobular
Divided into sections
Lobular describes something composed of or relating to lobules—small lobes or subdivisions of an organ.
The term appears most often in medical contexts: lobular carcinoma originates in the milk-producing lobules of the breast; lobular pneumonia affects specific sections of lung tissue.
The adjective emphasizes the segmented, compartmentalized structure of certain tissues.
