What is the name of the inner lining of the eyelid?

Bulbar conjunctiva
Palpebral Conjunctiva
Sclera
Cornea

The correct answer is: Palpebral Conjunctiva

The inner lining of the eyelid is known as the palpebral conjunctiva. This tissue is a part of the conjunctival sac, which covers the inner surface of the eyelids and also extends over the surface of the eyeball. The palpebral conjunctiva has a role in protecting the eye and facilitating movement of the eyelids over the surface of the eye. It helps maintain moisture and acts as a barrier against pathogens. In contrast, the bulbar conjunctiva is the portion that covers the eyeball itself, forming a continuous membrane with the palpebral conjunctiva, but it does not line the eyelids. The sclera is the white outer coating of the eyeball, providing structure and protection, while the cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil, allowing light to enter the eye. Understanding these distinctions enhances comprehension of ocular anatomy, thus clarifying the role of the palpebral conjunctiva specifically.
