GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface. In a healthy eye, the conjunctiva is clear and colourless. The sclera is the tough outer layer of the eyeball (the white of the eye).

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the conjunctiva? The conjunctiva is a thin, clear membrane that protects your eye. It covers the inside of your eyelid and the white of your eye (the sclera). The conjunctiva creates the mucus layer that forms part of your tears.

Detailed explanation-3: -The palpebral conjunctiva is the segment that covers the inner surface of the upper and lower eyelids. The fornix conjunctiva is a flexible segment between the bulbar and palpebral conjunctivas that allow the eyelid and eyeball to move freely.

Detailed explanation-4: -The conjunctiva contributes to the tear film and protects the eye from foreign objects and infection. The sclera is the thick white sphere of dense connective tissue that encloses the eye and maintains its shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -The conjunctiva is the clear, thin membrane that covers part of the front surface of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. It has two segments: Bulbar conjunctiva. This portion of the conjunctiva covers the anterior part of the sclera (the “white” of the eye).
