Bilobular

/baɪˈlɒbjʊlər/ adjective

Definition

Having two small lobes or being composed of two small lobule divisions, used in anatomy and histology.

Etymology

English adjective from 'bi-' (two) and 'lobular' (relating to small lobes or lobules), combining prefixes and suffixes used in anatomical terminology.

Kelly Says

The word 'bilobular' shows how anatomists needed to get very specific—they could describe not just two lobes, but two small specialized lobes within a larger structure, like nested compartments in a body system!
