Canine lacrimal and third eyelid superficial glands’ macroscopic and morphometric characteristics

Canine lacrimal and third eyelid superficial glands’ macroscopic and morphometric characteristics

The lacrimal and third eyelid superficial glands produce the aqueous component of the preocular tear film. In this research, morphologic and morphometric assessments of the parenchyma and stroma of both lacrimal glands of healthy adult mongrel dogs were performed. Both lacrimal and third eyelid glands of fourteen dogs were collected, summing fiftysix samples. The macroscopic and morphometric da...

Computed tomographic imaging characteristics of the normal canine lacrimal glands

BACKGROUND The canine lacrimal gland (LG) and accessory lacrimal gland of the third eyelid (TEG) are responsible for production of the aqueous portion of the precorneal tear film. Immune-mediated, toxic, neoplastic, or infectious processes can affect the glands directly or can involve adjacent tissues, with secondary gland involvement. Disease affecting these glands can cause keratoconjunctivit...

Morphological and histological study of superior lacrimal gland of third eyelid in camel (Camelus dromedarius)

In this study ten pairs of superior gland of third eyelid of 10 adult male camels free of apparent ocular disease were examined to compare the normal anatomical and histological properties of these glands. After dissecting, all of the glands were characterized and measured (length and width) on both the left and right side. In the camels, the superior gland of the third eyelid was oval shaped a...
