An eyelid is a thin fold of skin and muscle that covers and protects an eye. The levator palpebrae superioris muscle retracts the eyelid to "open" the eye. This can be either voluntarily or involuntarily. The human eyelid features a row of eyelashes which serve to heighten the protection of the eye from dust and foreign debris. "Palpebral" means relating to the eyelids.
Anatomy
Innervation
In humans, the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve provides sensation to the upper eyelid and the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve provides sensation to the lower lid.Usage
When an eye becomes dry, closing the eyelid and opening it again rapidly — referred to as "blinking" — can help to spread moisture across the surface of the eye and ease the discomfort. Blinking also serves the purpose of helping to remove irritants which have landed in the eye. When a person chooses to blink one eye as a signal to another in a social setting, it is known as "winking." More on [ Eyelid ]
