What is the difference between urine and tears?

Urine is a waste product filtered from blood by the kidneys, while tears are produced by the lacrimal glands to protect and lubricate the eyes. Urine is primarily made up of water, electrolytes, and waste products, whereas tears contain water, salts, proteins, and enzymes. Urine is excreted through the urinary system, while tears drain through the tear ducts.


What chemical in your tears kills?

Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme. This chemical disrupts the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in them. This enzyme is also found in your saliva and is an example of a non-specific immune response.


How does water exit the body?

Water exits the body primarily through urine, sweat, and exhalation. Urine is produced by the kidneys and eliminated through the bladder, while sweat is released through the sweat glands in the skin. Exhalation removes water vapor from the lungs as we breathe out.


Are tears a primary defence system?

Tears primarily serve to lubricate and protect the eyes, as well as to remove irritants. They are not considered a primary defense system, as they do not actively target pathogens or foreign substances in the body. However, tears do contain enzymes that can help fight certain types of bacteria.


Can you drink your tears?

in a survival situation, any liquid you get into you that's not poisonous might save your life. people trapped in earthquake damage/rubble have survived by drinking other peoples or their own urine, but sweat will probably not be a good idea because of the salt content - the small amount of hydration value would be offset by it.
