Nictitating membranes
A tubuloalveolar serous gland divided into lobules by loose or dense c.t. septae
Lacrimal glands
Development of a single eye in the center of the head due to failure of the optic field to separate into 2 lateral eye forming regions?
Cyclopia
Absence of eye due to failure of optic vesicles to form or to severe interference with normal growth of an optic cup
