Abstract

The various glands of rhesus monkey eyelids and human eyelids are similar. Numerous modified sebaceous glands are located along the tarsus. These conform with the meibomian glands, while typical sebaceous glands associated with the hair follicles of the lashes are consistent with the glands of Zeis. Lobules of accessory lacrimal tissue, corresponding to the glands of Krause and Wolfring, are located in the conjunctiva of the fornix and along the orbital border of the tarsal plate. Goblet cells are plentiful in the mucosa of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, and along the lid margin are the sweat glands of Moll.
