Question

Gland of zeis is present in the?
A) Ear
B) Nose
C) Eyes
D) Tongues

Answer 1

Hint: Zeis glands are unilobar sebaceous glands. These glands contain an oily fluid that is distributed into the middle portion of the hair follicle via the sebaceous lobule's excretory ducts. The glands of Zeis are named after German ophthalmologist Eduard Zeis.

Complete answer:
Zeis glands are unilobar sebaceous glands found on the eyelid margin. The eyelash is served by Zeis' glands. These glands contain an oily fluid that is distributed into the middle portion of the hair follicle via the sebaceous lobule's excretory ducts. Near the base of the eyelashes are apocrine glands called the "glands of Moll" in the same region of the eyelid.
The glands of Zeis are named after German ophthalmologist Eduard Zeis. If eyelashes are not kept clean, conditions such as folliculitis may take place, and if the sebaceous gland becomes infected, it can lead to abscesses and styles.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) ‘Eyes’.

Additional information:
This is the most common kind of style. It is basically a staphylococcal lash follicle infection, probably involving the Zeis glands - the small, modified sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes - or the Moll glands, the modified sweat glands at the base of the eyelashes. This leads to a skin boil somewhere.
Pain, redness and swelling at the margin of the lid
1. The whole lip may initially be infected; the swelling quickly becomes localized, and a yellow, pus-filled lesion can be found at the lid margin associated with an eyelid (at the base of the affected eyelash).
2. Localized tenderness on eyelid palpation.
3. There could be linked perceptual cellulites.
The majority will heal spontaneously or the abscess would burst to discharge purulent content resulting in rapid subsiding of symptoms. Some psychological measures that are effective include:
1. Heat (warm compresses) applied many times a day can help the lesion naturally drain.
A resulting staphylococcal infection can be avoided by topical antibiotic ointments (e.g., fusidic acid eye drops).
2. In extreme cases, oral antibiotic therapy may be appropriate, such as flucloxacillin if not allergic to penicillin.
3. Management options that are less frequently required include:
a) In an appropriate drainage channel, epilation of the infected eyelash that spreads from the lesion involved can benefit.
b) For resistant lesions, clean needle or blade incision and blade.

Note:
Sebum is secreted into the hair follicle of the cilia by the Zeis sebaceous glands, covering the eyelash shaft to protect it from being brittle. Moll's glands have been referred to as modified sweat glands, but are classified more correctly as advanced apocrine glands.
