The mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelid and the exposed surface of the eyeball.
The conjunctiva gland secretes mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the surface of the eye.
This portion of the conjunctiva covers the anterior part of the sclera (the "white" of the eye). The bulbar conjunctiva stops at the junction between the sclera and cornea; it does not cover the cornea. Palpebral conjunctiva. This portion covers the inner surface of both the upper and lower eyelids.
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is a layer of epithelial cells that cover the sclera (in the eye) and the inside of eyelids.
The epithelium covering the inner surface of the eyelids is called the palpebral conjunctiva, while the outer surface of the eye is covered by the bulbar conjunctiva.
