MICROANATOMY

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: -The lacrimal gland, a tubuloacinar exocrine gland, secretes electrolytes, water, proteins, and mucins known as lacrimal gland fluid, into the tear film.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Excess fluid drains through the tear ducts into the nose.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
