Despite focus on brainstem areas in central respiratory control, regions rostral to the medulla and pons are now recognized as being important in modulating respiratory outflow during various physiological states.

New imaging techniques have become invaluable in confirming and broadening our understanding of the manner in which the cerebral cortex of humans contributes to respiratory control during volitional breathing.

mucoaqueous

Three distinct layers of the tear film are recognized. A thin layer of lipid or fatty substances covers the aqueous or mucoaqueous portion.[…]FIG. 1. The three layers of the tear film. Although the thin lipid layer is well defined, the mucoaqueous and mucoid layers are continuous, with the bulk of the mucin concentrated near, and adhering to, the epithelial microprojections.

1987, Stephen J. Rhode, Stephen P. Ginsberg, editors, Ophthalmic Technology: A Guide for the Eye Care Assistant, Raven Press, →ISBN, pages 23, 24:

To encompass the entirety of the tear film, composed of the interpalpebral and retropalpebral portions, the neologism ‘dacruon’ was termed (Cher 2007, 2008). The dacruon represents the mucoaqueous layer and lipid sealant of the interpalpebral portion of the tear film as well as the opposing mucoaqueous reservoirs of the palpebral and conjunctival surfaces in the retropalpebral portion, which lacks an outer lipid layer.

2013, Nora Khatib, Penny A. Asbell, “Chapter 28. Artificial tear substitutes”, in Jose M. Benitez-del-Castillo, Michael A. Lemp, editors, Ocular Surface Disorders, JP Medical, →ISBN, pages 235–236:

Fig. 127.2 Schematic representation of the tear film architecture (based on a novel model proposed by the International Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Workshop 2011).[…]The mucoaqueous component delivers essential nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, hormones) to the ocular surface and the avascular structures of the external eye.

2013, Simon Bowman, John Hamburger, Elizabeth Price, Saaeha Rauz, “Section 16. Sjögren’s Syndrome”, “Chapter 127. Sjögren’s syndrome—clinical features”, in Richard A. Watts, Philip G. Conaghan, Christopher Denton, Helen Foster, John Isaacs, Ulf Müller-Ladner, editors, Oxford Textbook of Rheumatology, 4th edition, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 1047:

Another way the tear film may be conceptualized is as a 2 layer system. The inner layer is made up of a combination of the mucus and aqueous layers to form a mucoaqueous gel layer. The outer second layer is the lipid layer.

2018, Sandra Young, Heal Your Dry Eyes: Nutrition & Recipes, Gatekeeper Press, →ISBN:

(anatomy) Containing both mucus and water, especially in reference to the tear film of the ocular surface.


retropalpebral

The mould reproduces the exact configuration of the retropalpebral space and by making it a little larger at the point where the conjunctival sac is obliterated the continuous, gentle pressure restores a groove or makes it deeper, so that the prothesis can be better borne.

1918, Archives of Ophthalmology, page 325:

The writer has concluded that the sterilization of conjunctival trachoma can be obtained by germicidal agents; that copper, in the form of the sulphate, is as specific in granular ophthalmia as mercury or arsenic in syphilis; that the application of sulphate or copper by injection under the retropalpebral conjunctiva is the method of choice, not excluding the classical treatment by applications and instillations.

1924, International Medical and Surgical Survey, page 256:

A female Thelazia callipeda, about 1 cm. in length, was found in the retropalpebral conjunctival sac of the left upper eyelid in a 4 year old girl.

1948, Quarterly Review of Ophthalmology, page 358:

The palpebral pump exerts positive pressure on the fluid in the retropalpebral canal. This retropalpebral canal exists only during the short phase of complete eyelid closure.
