Solution:

Bowman's glands are olfactory glands present in the nose. They are located just below the nasal epithelium and produce mucous to keep the olfactory epithelium moist. The cornea of the eye is made up of 5 layers: outer epithelium, anterior elastic lamina, substantia propria, posterior elastic lamina and inner epithelium. Outer part of the anterior elastic lamina, which is made up of collagen fibres, is called Bowman's membrane.
