Explanation:

The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane of the eye. It lines the inner surfaces of the eyelids or palpebræ, and is reflected over the forepart of the sclera and cornea. The primary functions of the conjunctiva are:

Keep the front surface of the eye moist and lubricated.
Keep the inner surface of the eyelids moist and lubricated so they open and close easily without friction or causing eye irritation.
Protect the eye from dust, debris and infection-causing microorganisms.
