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.
