context_page_description: In anatomy, a lobe is a clear anatomical division or extension of an organ that can be determined without the use of a microscope at the gross anatomy level. This is in contrast to the much smaller lobule, which is a clear division only visible under the microscope.
  Interlobar ducts connect lobes and interlobular ducts connect lobules.
