Palpebra (SFLT) *

Palpebra (SFLT)* page contains preparations from the eyelid. Preparations are not mandatory (they are not reviewed for practice, they are not tested, therefore *). I included them in the atlas because all types of skin glands and also special glands that cannot be found elsewhere in the skin are located in the lid.  For the same reasons, they are classified under the Skin System chapter and not the Senses, even though they are auxiliary devices of the eye.

Preparation 1


Title: Eyelid - overview (HE)

Description: PK – skin surface, PS – conjunctival surface, EP – epidermis (multilayered squamous epithelium

cornified), ES – conjunctival epithelium (multilayered cylindrical), VF – eyelash hair follicle, Ci – cilia (eyelashes),

GTM – glandulae tarsales Meibom (sebaceous, holocrine, unrelated to the follicle), GCM – glandulae ciliares

Molli (apocrine, opening into the follicle), GSZ - glandulae sebaceae Zeissi (sebaceous, holocrine, opening into the follicle

cilia), TP – tarsal plate, MOO – musculus orbicularis oculi (striated), C – blood vessel

tarsales Meibom (sebaceous, holocrine, not related to the cilia follicle), GSud – glandulae sudoriferae (eccrine

sweat glands), MOO – musculus orbicularis oculi (striated), C – blood vessel
