Q

IN what structure does the aqueous layer play a big role in?

A

Tear film

98%

82

What is the purpose of the anterior lipid layer?

A

Prevent evaporation of the water component.

Reduces evaporation to about 10% of that found in the fluid systems without a lipid surface.

Outer nonpolar: air interface

Inner polar: aqueous interface

84
Q

NaCl
KCl
CaCl
MgCl
NaCHO3-
NaPO3-
85
