Preferred Label : lacrimal gland bud;
Uberon definition : the single bud-like invagination of the conjunctival fornix epithelium at the temporal
aspect of the eye that signals lacrimal gland formation (Int Rev Cytol. 1996;168:1-80.
Cell biology of the harderian gland);
Uberon Taxon note : in mouse, the primary bud arises around E13.5 and extends caudally into the surrounding
neural-crest derived periocular mesenchyme; between E15.5 and E16.5 the bud undergoes
branching morphogenesis, forming both a major extra-orbital lobe and a minor intraorbital
lobe;
