When closing the eyelids, which is part is the back of the eyelids when the eyelids are closed, it is the Palpebral Conjunctiva or the Tarsus?

Is it the palpebral conjunctiva the back of the eyelids, not the tarsus.

Is it the palpebral conjunctiva the back of the eyelids, not the tarsus.

hm, i think it's actually technically both. the tarsus would be the holder of the tarsal glands, which are inside the eyelid where we would "see" with our eyes closed, but the conjunctiva is actual tissue we see that causes us to... not see. its the lining inside. so all things considering, you could say both, no?

So they're both, so the tarsus is the inside of the eyelid we see with our eyes closed and not the palpebral conjunctiva?

yes

yes

In other words, the tarsus forms a barrier in the closed eyelids.

the Tarsus is inside of the eyelid, but the conjunctiva is the skin we "see" inside the eyelid. Does that make sense?

yeah, it does, the conjunctiva is the skin that makes the barrier in the closed eyelids.
