Human Eye Tear Gland and Duct Anatomy.

This detailed color illustration of the human eye focuses on the tear production and drainage system. It highlights the Superior lacrimal (tear) gland located above the eye and the Inferior lacrimal (tear) gland below the eye, both essential for producing tears. The Excretory ducts leading from the lacrimal glands are depicted as pathways that direct tears to the Lacrimal papillae and into the Lacrimal sac. The diagram also shows the Nasolacrimal duct, which drains excess tears from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity, providing a full understanding of tear flow and its role in maintaining eye health.

This image clearly portrays the relationship between these structures in the context of human facial anatomy, with detailed labels to help users identify each component. The depiction is ideal for educational purposes, offering a close-up view of how the lacrimal system operates in relation to the eye and nose.
