Ciliary glands

Ciliary glands (g. ciliares, lnh; synonym: moll glands, moll sweat glands) are small tubular sweat glands located along the edge of the eyelids. They secrete a lubricating secretion that protects the skin of the eyelids from irritation.

The ciliary glands belong to the sweat glands and are derivatives of the sweat glands of the skin. They are located in the form of several rows in the thickness of the ciliary edge of the eyelids, opening at its free edge. The number of ciliary glands reaches 20-30 on the upper and 10-15 on the lower eyelid.

The secretion of the ciliary glands is a fat-like emulsion consisting of fats, proteins, salts and dead epithelial cells. It lubricates the eyelashes, preventing them from sticking together, and also protects the delicate skin of the eyelids from irritation.

Impaired functioning of the ciliary glands can lead to the development of diseases such as blepharitis and blepharoconjunctivitis.

Ciliated gland The ciliated glands develop in the ducts of the parotid or parathyroid salivary glands. Excretory ducts are located deep in the skin of the face or body and open on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. The glands secreted a secret containing mucins and sticky protein, irritating the mucous membranes of the eyeball, mouth, and upper respiratory tract. The gland is involved in the production of mucus in the lacrimal gland and salivary gland. Most often the gland is found on the left side
