| 1. | Causes include idiopathic, congenital alacrima, xerophthalmia, lacrimal gland ablation, and sensory denervation.
|
| 2. | Tears are produced by the lacrimal gland, situated just outside the eye.
|
| 3. | The lacrimal gland is primarily responsible for producing emotional or reflexive tears.
|
| 4. | Together, they function to collect tears produced by the lacrimal glands.
|
| 5. | The lacrimal gland and the accessory conjunctival glands produce fewer tears.
|
| 6. | However, they continue to course with the parasympathetic fibers innervating the lacrimal gland.
|
| 7. | These fibers will eventually provide innervation to the lacrimal gland.
|
| 8. | The apparatus includes the lacrimal gland and the accessory lacrimal gland, which produce the tears.
|
| 9. | The apparatus includes the lacrimal gland and the accessory lacrimal gland, which produce the tears.
|
| 10. | These parasympathetic to the lacrimal gland control tear production.
