The harderian gland is an orbital gland of the majority of land vertebrates. It is the only
orbital gland in anuran amphibians since the lacrimal gland develops later during
phylogenesis in some reptilian species. Perhaps because it is not found in man, little interest
was paid to this gland until about four decades ago. In recent years, however, the scientific
community has shown new interest in analyzing the ontogenetic and morphofunctional
aspects of the harderian gland, particularly in rodents, which are the preferred experimental …
