Detailed explanation-1: -The tear glands located above each eyeball, called the lacrimal glands, continuously supply tear fluid that’s wiped across the surface of your eye each time you blink your eyelids.
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: -Where are the lacrimal glands? You have 2 lacrimal glands, one on each side above each eyeball, towards the outer part of the eyelid. The glands produce a fluid that cleans and protects the surface of the eyelid. Our tears are part of this fluid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Serotonin hormonally regulates lacrimal gland secretory function via the serotonin type 3a receptor | Scientific Reports.
