    Histology of The Eyelid

    The document describes the anatomy of the eyelid. It has two parts: the pars cutanea which is covered by skin containing hair follicles and glands, and the pars conjunctivalis covered by conjunctiva. Between these layers are the orbicularis oculi muscle and tarsal plate containing Meibomian glands. The conjunctiva contains goblet cells that secrete mucus. Near the eyelid edges are eyelashes, glands of Zeiss and Meibomian glands. The lacrimal gland beneath secretes tears via ducts into the conjunctival fornix for eye lubrication.
