The mucous membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and the outside of the globe is called what?

Explanation:
Conjunctiva. It’s a thin, protective mucous membrane that lines the inner surfaces of the eyelids (palpebral conjunctiva) and reflects onto the front of the eyeball to cover the sclera (the white part) as the bulbar conjunctiva. This membrane helps lubricate the eye by producing mucus and keeping the surface moist. It’s distinct from the sclera (the tough outer coat), the cornea (the clear front window), and the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back).
