Is a liver lobe the same as a liver lobule?

No, liver lobes and lobules are different. Liver lobes are the grossly (non-microscopically) visible portions of the liver. Most animals have 6 lobes; right lateral, right medial, quadrate, caudate, left medial and left lateral. In some animals these lobes are fused (so it is hard to tell which lobe is which). Lobules are the microscopic units of the liver. The classical lobule is a hexagonal shape with a central vein at the centre and portal triads (portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct) at some (or all) of the corners. Please see the related links for diagrams of the liver lobes and lobules.
