Snot!Snot is the slang term for nose mucus. mucus is made up of:

mucin (a protein)

skin cells

water

inroganic salts (basically the dirt/pollution we inhale)

BUT when we are sick, snot also contains:

cbacteria and/or viruses and dead white cells (that's why it looks colored sometimes)

When we cry we have extra snot that is extra liquidy!

The tears drain away from the eyes through ducts into the nose, this softens up the snot, makng it liquid and fluid, causing your nose to drip.

Sometimes this is actually a good thing, that can unclog your naso/oral cavity (ha he may have dumped you but who will have the cleaner halthier nose?)

So snot is GREAT!

Snot is really a protective lubricating layer that:

moisturizes the air

prevents tissue from drying out

traps debris and expel it.

tears flush across the eyeball and through the lacrimal puncta, to the lacrimal canaliculi, the lacrimal sac and finally into the nasolacrimal duct which empties into the nasal cavity.

What happens if you cry when blowing your nose.?

Crying serves the primary purpose of clearing the eyes of containments. So when you blow your nose you instigate tears to form to clean the drains from your eye to your nasal cavity. Crying due to emotional upset is only a human emotional response. It doesn't happen with any other primate. (Weird huh?)


Why need to blow your nose after a good crying?

Answer 1It's actually your tears running down into your nasal cavity.The lacrimal glands of the eye are situated above (superior to) the lateral aspect of each eye. They continually release a dilute salt solution (tears) that flow over the front (anterior) surface of the eyeball through several small ducts. The tears flush across the eye and through the lacrimal puncta(tiny openings of the lacrimal canaliculi) medially, then into the lacrimal sac.Lastly, they flow into the nasolacrimal duct, which empties into the nasal cavity causing us to sniffle and need to blow our nose.Answer 2when u cry u get sense's so that's whyAnswer 3because the mucus in your nose is becoming more liquid and it will drip downAnswer 4It is necessary to blow your nose after crying because it expresses feelings and thoughts to blow your nose.Answer 5Well, when you cry, some of the tears flow down the nasolachrymal duct, which opens in the upper part of the nose. It's where tears normally drain to when you are not crying, it's just that crying makes more tears. Save
