An eyelid is a thin fold of skin and muscle that covers and protects an eye. With the exception of the prepuce and the labia minora, it has the thinnest skin of the whole body. The levator palpebrae superioris muscle retracts the eyelid to "open" the eye.

The Occipitofrontalis is a muscle of the human body, with two parts:

• the "occipital" part/belly, near the occipital bone.
• the "frontal" part/belly, near the frontal bone.
