When a person cries why do they have a running nose?

The liquid in your tear ducts are coming out of your eyes, so they empty, allowing the snot in your nose to come out. Gross, but logical. As the mucin is released and soaks up water it can expand up to 600 times, which is potentially a lot of snot! Indeed, it is estimated that a healthy nose will pump out more than a pint of mucus a day, although the amount can vary enormously; for example when you cry most of your tears will run into the nose and mix with the mucus, increasing its volume. " Not all of the tears when you cry run down your face. Some stay in your mucus membranes and mix with your mucus, causing it to get runny. we have lacrimal gland in our eyes. so when we cry the lacrymal secretion increases , moreover the lacrimal gland has the connection to our nasal passage. when we cry the lacrimal secreation enters into nasal passage. and so we got runny nose and stuffy when we cry your sinuses are activated and irritated as more mucous is formed.. eyes, ears, noses and throats are all linked?
