Crying blood, or hematidrosis, occurs when blood vessels around the sweat glands in the face burst due to extreme stress or medical conditions like blood disorders. This rare phenomenon can result in blood mixing with sweat and causing a person to weep blood. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional if experiencing this symptom.
Those who suffer from Haemolacria, a condition which causes blood to be mixed in with tears to varying degrees, likely suffer more pain from the condition itself than the actual crying. This isn't much different to any other time you may bleed, where the pain emanates from the injury site, and not the blood or bleeding itself.
No, trees do not cry in the way that humans cry. They do not have tear ducts or the nervous system necessary for expressing emotions like sadness. However, trees can release a form of sap when they are injured or under stress, which serves as a protective mechanism.
A flamenco cry, known as a "quejio" in Spanish, is a vocal expression of deep emotion and passion in flamenco music.

Tears are produced by tear glands located under your eyelids. When you cry, these glands release tears to help wash away irritants or emotions from your eyes. The tears then flow out of your eyes through tiny openings in the inner corner of your eyelids.
There is no specific name for trees that cry. Some trees, like the weeping willow, are known for their drooping branches that may resemble tears, but they do not actually cry.
