WTF? palpebrae
Protect eye from dust and debris
Palpebrae are the scientific term for eyelids. They are the movable folds of skin that cover and protect the eyes. The eyelids are important for maintaining the moisture of the eyes and for protecting them from external factors such as dust and foreign particles. The upper eyelid is larger than the lower eyelid and is controlled by the levator palpebrae muscle. The palpebral fissure is the elongated opening that separates the upper and lower eyelids. When the eyes blink, the eyelids close and protect the eyes, preventing them from drying out or being damaged.
