Lacrimal Gland lobes

Orbital lobe of lacrimal gland is anterior and Palpebral lobe is posterior.

??? how can this basic anatomy has controversy…ooops..but I think it is controversial.few books write palpebral is anterior and orbital is posterior.!!

Yes…!! Duane’s 2007 says that it’s actually Superior and Inferior. Orbital is superior and Palpebral is posterior…but by reading it thoroughly, the above controversial line seems true…still it’s difficult to believe for me. Many other textbooks quotes reverse..!! or we can just remember it like superior and inferior lobes of the lacrimal gland. I don’t know exactly which is anterior and which is posterior..!!
