Detailed explanation-1: -The lacrimal gland is located within the orbit above the lateral end of the eye. It continually releases fluid which cleanses and protects the eye’s surface as it lubricates and moistens it. These lacrimal secretions are commonly known as tears.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tears are created in lacrimal glands in the upper outside corners of your eyes. They’re mostly salt and water. This fluid moves across your eyes as you blink and is mixed with oil from your meibomian glands to form your tears. This keeps the water from evaporating too quickly.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lacrimal glands above each eye produce your tears. As you blink, tears spread across the surface of the eye. Then the tears drain into puncta, tiny holes in the corners of your upper and lower eyelids. Your tears then travel through small canals in the lids and down a duct before emptying into your nose.
