VisionFirst CEBT Practice Test

The eyelashes that grow from the skin side of the lid margin are called:

Conjunctiva Ciliary body Cilia Endothelium

Correct Answer:

Cilia

Explanation:

Eyelashes are hair that grow from follicles in the skin along the edge of the eyelid. The term for these eyelashes is cilia. The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and front of the eyeball, not hair. The ciliary body is a structure behind the iris involved in focusing and fluid production, not eyelash growth. Endothelium is the inner cellular lining of vessels or the cornea, also not related to the lashes.
