Front 1

Eyelid: Palpebral conjunctiva

-conjunctival fornix

Back 1

I. Eyelid and Lacrimal Apparatus

A. Eyelid

1. Palpebral conjunctiva: mucosa covering the posterior surface of the eye-
lid; it turns back on itself at a region called the conjunctival fornix and
becomes continuous with the bulbar conjunctiva covering the anterior
part ofthe sclera or "white of the eye"

Front 2

Eyelid: TARSUS

what does it border? attachments?

Back 2

I. Eyelid and Lacrimal Apparatus

A. Eyelid


2. Tarsus: semilunar plate of dense connective tissue between the palpe-
bral conjunctiva and superficial fascia; borders the free margin of the
eyelid and attaches to the medial and lateral walls ofthe orbit, just in-
side the orbital margin, via the medial and lateral palpebral ligaments,
respectively

Front 3

Eyelid: TARSAL GLANDS

Back 3

I. Eyelid and Lacrimal Apparatus

A. Eyelid

3. Tarsal glands: modified sebaceous glands within a tarsus; their ducts
open on the free margin of the eyelid and their oily secretion forms a
surface film that reduces evaporation of lacrimal fluid

Front 4

SUPERIOR TARSAL MUSCLE

-location? attachment?
-receives sympathetic inn.?
-how does it contract?

Back 4

4. Tarsal muscles

a. Superior tarsal muscle: smooth muscle within the tendon of levator
palpebrae superioris that attaches to the tarsus ofthe upper eyelid;
receives sympathetic innervation from the internal carotid plexus and
contracts reflexly to elevate the upper eyelid

Front 5

INFERIOR TARSAL MUSCLE

-from where to where does it extend?

-function?

Back 5

b. Inferior tarsal muscle: smooth muscle extending from the tarsus of
the lower eyelid to the fascial sheath of the inferior rectus muscle;
its function is unknown
