multilobulated

Multilobulated is an adjective used to describe something that has multiple lobes. A lobe is a rounded division or projection. In anatomy and biology, this term is often used to describe the structure of organs or tissues. For example, the liver is a multilobulated organ, meaning it is divided into several distinct lobes. Similarly, some tumors or masses can be described as multilobulated if they appear to be composed of multiple fused or distinct rounded masses.

The term can also be applied in other contexts. For instance, in geology, a multilobulated rock formation might refer to a structure with several rounded protrusions. In crystallography, crystals can sometimes exhibit multilobulated forms. The precise meaning and implication of "multilobulated" will depend on the specific field of study and the object being described. Generally, it indicates a complex shape characterized by the presence of more than one lobe. The number of lobes can vary, and the shape of each lobe can also differ, contributing to the overall description of the object's morphology.
