Previously it was thought that the main lacrimal gland is responsible for reflex tear secretion and the accessory lacrimal glands of Wolfring and Krause are responsible for the basal secretion. But recent evidence suggests that all tearing may be reflex. [5] The accessory glands account for approximately 10% of the total lacrimal secretory mass ...
Krause's glands or Krause glands are small, mucous accessory lacrimal glands that are found underneath the eyelid where the upper and lower conjunctivae meet. [1] Their ducts unite into a rather long sinus which open into the fornix conjunctiva. [2]

In the anatomy of the eye, the conjunctiva (pl.: conjunctivae) is a thin mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera (the white of the eye). [1] It is composed of non-keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium with goblet cells , stratified columnar epithelium and stratified cuboidal epithelium (depending on the ...
