eyelid eye·lid or eye-lid (ī'lĭd')
n.
Either of two folds of skin and muscle that can be closed over the exposed portion of the eyeball. Also called palpebra.
The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionaryn.
Either of two folds of skin and muscle that can be closed over the exposed portion of the eyeball. Also called palpebra.
movable tissue, consisting primarily of skin and
muscle, that shields and protects the eyeball from mechanical injury and
helps to provide the moist chamber essential for the normal functioning
of the conjunctiva and cornea. The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane
that lines the eyelid and covers the visible portion of the eyeball
except the cornea (the transparent part of the eyeball that covers the
iris and the pupil). Each eyelid contains a fibrous plate, called a
tarsus, that gives it structure and shape; muscles, which move the
eyelids; and meibomian (or tarsal) glands, which secrete lubricating
fluids. The lids are covered with skin, lined with mucous membrane, and
bordered with a fringe of hairs, the eyelashes. The lids move through
the action of a circular lid-closing muscle, the orbicularis oculi, and
of the lid-raising muscle, the levator of the upper lid. Impulses for
closing come by way of the facial (seventh cranial) nerve, and for
opening by way of the oculomotor (third cranial) nerve. The lid borders
are kept lubricated by an oily secretion (called sebum) of the meibomian
glands. This secretion forms part of the tear film and reduces
evaporative tear loss.
