FIGURE 22.4 | Lacrimal Gland
The lacrimal gland consists of several lobes separated into lobules by the
connective tissue (2) septa with nerves (4), adipose cells (6), and blood vessels
(9). The lacrimal gland is a serous compound gland that resembles the salivary
glands in lobular structure and tubuloalveolar acini (8). The myoepithelial cells
(1, 5) surround the individual secretory acini (8).
A small intralobular excretory duct (7), lined with a simple cuboidal or
columnar epithelium, is located between the tubuloalveolar acini (8). The larger
interlobular excretory duct (3) is lined with two layers of low columnar cells
or pseudostratified epithelium.
