Light micrograph of a section through a lacrimal gland. The lacrimal glands, which are situated one above each eye, secrete tears. The glandular tissue contains ductules (white), which transport the glandular secretion to the larger ducts (not seen). The secretion of tears helps keep the front of the eyeball clean. They contain lysozyme, an enzyme that destroys bacteria.Credit:Steve Gschmeissner / Science SourceSize:3571px × 2463px (~25 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:anatomy-biology-cell-cells-duct-ducts-ductule-ductules-exocrine gland-eye-gland-glandular secretion-healthy-human body-lacrimal-lacrimal gland-light microscope-lm-normal-nuclei-ophthalmology-P755/0027-P755/027-P7550027-secrete-secretes-section-sectioned-structure-system-tear-tear gland-tissueModel release:N/AParent folder:Months of November 2007 through May 2008
