TARSUS (EYELIDS)

The tarsi (tarsal plates) are two comparatively thick, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about 10 mm (0.39 in) in length for the upper eyelid and 5 mm for the lower eyelid; one is found in each eyelid, and contributes to its form and support.

They are located directly above the lid margins.

The tarsus has a lower and upper part making up the palpebrae.
