Conjunctiva
The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent mucous membrane overlying the anterior-most portion of the sclera and lining the inner surfaces of the eyelids. The conjunctiva is divided into the limbal, bulbar, forniceal, and palpebral regions. Associated with the conjunctiva are goblet cells, which produce mucus and eccrine glands: the conjunctival glands (of Krause) and the accessory lacrimal glands (of Wolfring). The conjunctival glands (of Krause) are concentrated in the upper fornix, whereas the accessory lacrimal glands (of Wolfring) are associated with the tarsus.
