Posterior tarsal glands<br /> <br /> =<br /> <br /> The eyelids are composed of the following structures taken in their order from without inward: integument, areolar tissue, fibers of the Orbicularis oculi, tarsus, orbital septum, tarsal glands and conjunctiva. The upper eyelid has, in addition, the aponeurosis of the Levator palpebræ superioris (Fig. 893).<br /> <br /> The integument is extremely thin, and continuous at the margins of the eyelids with the conjunctiva. <br /> <br /> The subcutaneous areolar tissue is very lax and delicate, and seldom contains any fat. <br /> <br /> The palpebral fibers of the Orbicularis oculi are thin, pale in color, and possess an involuntary action.<br /> <br /> <br /> (Text modified from Gray's 1918 Anatomy)<br /> <br /> {{Gray Anatomy}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Cartoon]]<br /> [[Category:Senses]] [[Category:Vision]] [[Category:Human]] [[Category:Integumentary]]</div>
