Question: How do our lacrimal glands produce tears when we cry emotionally? in our anatomy and physiology class, we discussed that there is still no scientific evidence why there are tears pouring when we are upset. im wondering why and how could our glands produce so much tears? i usually cry, like a lot. so yeah, im curious.

Answer: Hmm, I've heard differently. Supposedly, when we cry, a certain chemical is released in the tears (salty taste) that helps alleviate the emotions in our brain. Therefore, if you're sad, and you cry, you're, in a way, crying out the sadness.

Question: What's the best way to spot the "sphenoid, ethmoid, and lacrimal" bones via the frontal view? Of the orbit (eye socket of the skeleton). The ethmoid and sphenoid on the side of the skull look big, but in the orbit they appear small. And it doesn't look like they are connected to the side

Answer: visualize this as a 'butterfly', if it was disassociated from the rest of the skull, Grants atlas is a good source, also Gray's American.

Question: Why does lacrimal secretion increase substantially when we are upset? I understand that lacrimal fluid flows from the lacrimal gland positioned on the lateral orbital region of the eye to the excretory lacrimal ducts which transmit tears across the eye surface. These tears (lacrimal fluids) then collect into medial little holes called the lacrimal puncta and then flow into the lacrimal canaliculus to the lacrimal sac and then drain into the nasolacrimal duct. So then, it seems that this flow of lacrimal secretion/fluid increases substantially in the lacrimal gland where it then oozes out to flow in the rest of its path. Am I right in assuming this? So, then, why does being upset/highly emotional increase lacrimal secretion in the lacrimal glands above the eyes?

Answer: We humans have the most highly developed forebrains of any creature on earth (except maybe dolphins) The result of this is we have emotions... not just primal instincts. We share fear, anger, jeoulosy, survival instinct and so on with our animal cousins, but we also have love, devotion, admiration, resentment, sorrow, and a whole host of complex emotions that are unique to homo sapiens. One of the most common physical side effects of strong emotion is crying. If this sounds completely alien to you then you have no soul.

Question: What is the term of the sticky substance secreted by the naso lacrimal duct?

Question: My puppy's lacrimal sac swells off and on and his eye is pinkish-red, is there something that i can purchase? from the vet to help him? Also can you tell me of an example of what can cause this eye problem in my dogs eye. Other than that he's still good spirited and still loves to interact and play. It's just im worried and want to make it all better. And is there anything i can do to make his eye a little more comfortable until the vet get's in tomorrow morning.

Answer: Are you referring to cherry eye? Looks like this: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=dog+cherry+eye&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=nokyS7HrJoqqsgOBwp3KBA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCQQsAQwAw If so, the only real solution is surgery, long-term. The vet may prescribe some antibiotic ointment and eye drops to help ease the swelling and irritation, and it may seem to resolve initially, but will soon be back without surgery to correct it.

Question: Where in your face are the following bones Lacrimal inferior nasal conche and the vomer?

Answer: The lacrimal bone, the smallest and most fragile bone of the face, is situated at the front part of the medial wall of the orbit. It has two surfaces and four borders. the inferior nasal concha (Inferior Turbinated Bone) extends horizontally along the lateral wall of the nasal cavity [Fig. 1] and consists of a lamina of spongy bone, curled upon itself like a scroll. The vomer (from Latin vomer, -ĕris, "ploughshare") is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull. It is located in the midsagittal line, and touches the sphenoid, the ethmoid, the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones. It has two surfaces, two borders, and two extremities.

Question: what causes inflamation of the lacrimal sac in a dog's eye, if not sure give me an example of what can?

Answer: A dog is a mammal, i.e. similar in many ways to you and me. All the things that cause you to have lacrimal sac inflammation will cause the same to your dog. Here are a few examples. 1. Eye infection - goes on to infect the lacrimal sac. 2. Irritants like smoke and dust. 3. Foreign particles in eye or lacrimal sac. 4. Neoplasms. 5. Trauma etc My feeling is that your dog does not have inflammation of the lacrimal sac. My guess is that you are seeing a greenish/yellowish discharge at the canthus of the eye. You are concluding that it is infection of the lacrimal sac. Greenish/yellowish discharge at the canthus of the eye is also present during infections of the eye. The eye usually becomes infected first. Then the infection spreads to the lacrimal sac. http://healthmad.com/senior-health/looking-after-a-blind-person-helpful-aids-and-tips-from-a-nurse/ I hope I have answered your question.

Question: what does inflamation of the lacrimal sac in a dog mean, can i treat it at home, take to vet or call for help?

Answer: the lacrimal sac is a fancy word for tear duct. inflammation merely means that it is swollen. I assume thisdiagnosis came from a vet and if so, why didn't they treat it then? It depends on what the root cause of the inflammation is if/how if should be treated.
