Eye Mucosa

Molecular classification
Epithelial Tissue, Mucous Membrane
01

Overview

The eye mucosa, primarily referring to the conjunctiva, is a thin, clear mucous membrane lining the inside of the eyelids and covering the sclera. It provides protection, lubrication, and immune defense to the ocular surface through its epithelial structure, goblet cells producing mucus, and associated glands secreting various components of the tear film.
