Májlebeny

Májlebeny refers to a lobe of the liver. The liver is a large organ in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, essential for numerous metabolic functions. It is anatomically divided into distinct lobes, with the májlebeny being one of these divisions. The exact terminology and number of lobes can vary slightly depending on the specific classification system used, but generally, the human liver is divided into four main lobes: the right lobe, the left lobe, the caudate lobe, and the quadrate lobe. The term "májlebeny" is a Hungarian word, where "máj" means liver and "lebeny" means lobe. Therefore, májlebeny directly translates to liver lobe. These lobes are separated by fissures or ligaments and serve specific functional areas within the liver, although they are not entirely independent. The liver's complex structure allows for its regenerative capabilities and its role in processing blood, producing bile, and detoxifying the body. Medical professionals use the concept of liver lobes for anatomical descriptions, surgical planning, and understanding the spread of liver diseases.
