Lacrimal glands structure components of the laboratory rat

Abstract

Conclusion: The lacrimal glands of laboratory rats have an individual well-defined connective tissue capsule. The intraepithelial interstitial spaces contain vessels of the hemomicrocirculatory tract, mainly capillaries, precapillary arteries, and postcapillary venules, in the volume of the extraorbital and infraorbital glands. Arterioles and venules are usually visualized for its boundaries.
