THE LACRIMAL GLAND 







THE lacrimal gland is easily distinguished 

 by its pink appearance. There are two parts, 

 inferior and superior. The gland lies directly 

 over the eye and near the outer angle of the 

 orbit. In the enucleated eye, it will be found 

 to lie near the outer canthus and over the 

 eye. The gland may be easily dissected out 

 of its position and then examined more closely. 

 A hand lens will show the racemose construc- 

 tion of the gland. If the gland is cut in two, 

 the racemose construction may be seen even 

 better.
