Study Notes
Eyes and Their Components
- The lacrimal glands produce tears that moisten and protect the eyes, as well as help to remove foreign particles.
- The eyes are located in the skull orbits, bony cavities that provide protection and support.
Eye Structures and Their Functions
- The conjunctiva is a thin membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids, helping to keep the eye moist and clean.
- The eyelids and lashes work together to protect the eye from debris, dust, and other foreign particles, and also help to distribute tears evenly over the eye's surface.
- The skull orbits provide a protective socket for the eyes, allowing them to move freely while protecting them from injury.
