Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands located above each eye. These glands secrete a mixture of water, oils, mucus, and antibodies that help keep the eyes moist and protect them from infections. The tears are spread across the surface of the eye by blinking and the movement of the eyelids, ensuring that the cornea remains lubricated and nourished.

What are the functions of tears and how do they help in maintaining eye health?
Tears serve to lubricate, protect, and nourish the eyes. They help maintain eye health by keeping the surface of the eye moist, washing away debris and foreign particles, and providing essential nutrients and oxygen to the cornea. Tears also contain enzymes that help prevent eye infections and maintain the eye's overall health and clarity.
How does the cornea receive oxygen to maintain its health and function?
The cornea receives oxygen from the air and tears on its surface, as it does not have blood vessels to supply oxygen like other parts of the body. This helps maintain its health and function.
What is the purpose of tears?
Tears lubricate the eyes and protect them from dirt and infection. During normal flow, tears wash over the eye and drain through ducts into the nasal cavity. During heavy flow, the extra tears spill over the eyelids to wash away particles too large for the ducts. As far as humans are aware there is no purpose why we cry when we are upset - it may be more of emotional reason (physical release for our pain) but our tear ducts are to wash away foreign objects in our eyes. --I truly believe that tears have the purpose of clearing out dirt and debris from the eyes of babies in case they are dropped on the floor(this is of course thinking in the sense that this feature came to be thousands of years ago.) (or somehow....) it's something used to weep away the nonredeemable :)

Psychic tears are produced by some type of strong emotional stress.

What term describes skin hair and tears?

How do pigs cry?
Pigs don't cry, only humans have the ability to cry, while animals do not cry in the way that humans do, they do produce tears. Since tear production, called "lachrimation", is necessary for healthy eyes. Tears are produced in mammals by the lachrymal system, tissues which make water. In land mammals, tears evolved to replace the water that the eyes of aquatic animals and fish are constantly surrounded by. Tears clean the cornea and keep it moist.
