33.
In women, dry eye is often caused by Sjogren's syndrome, a disease in which the body's own antibodies attack the lacrimal gland, causing a shortage of aqueous tears.

Not only does the conjunctiva produce IgA, like the lacrimal glands, but it also contains macrophages, neutrophilic granulocytes, mast cells, lymphocytes, and other aspects of the general mucosal immune system.
37.
The lacrimal branch of the ophthalmic nerve ( itself a branch of Trigeminal Nerve V1 ) supplies secretomotor innervation to the lacrimal gland, stimulating its secretion of the aqueous layer.
38.
The pterygopalatine ganglion supplies the lacrimal gland, paranasal sinuses, glands of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and pharynx, the gingiva, and the mucous membrane and glands of the hard palate.
39.
