The gland can be tubular gland compound tubular or alveolar gland compound tubuloalveolar , and the fluid it secretes mucous, serous or lipid varies between different groups of animals. In some animals it acts as an accessory to the lacrimal gland , secreting fluid that eases movement of the nictitating membrane. Research has proposed that the gland has several other functions, including that of a photoprotection photoprotective organ, a location of immune response , a source of thermoregulation thermoregulatory lipids, a source of pheromone s, a site of osmoregulation , et al. The Harderian gland was first described in 1694 by Swiss anatomist Johann Jacob Harder 1656 1711 .
