Why need to blow your nose after a good crying?

Answer 1

Answer 1

It'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 2

Tears are a product of the defense system, meaning that your body may not realize that it is being produced from emotional distress and may mistake it as a time for body defense.

Your nose, being near the eyes, may be affected depending on how severe the condition is of one or the other (for example, hay fever).

Therefore, your nose will then produce mucus (snot), to trap any foreign material from entering your body.

So in other words, crying can act like a warning for your body's defense system, which then activates your nose to also prepare for defense.

Answer 3

Your nose and your eyes are connected near the sinus area. Pressure from the nasal cavity can cause pressure on tear ducts and induce crying.

You may also feel pressure on your ears as well. This is why people are told to chew gum while flying or to close mouth, plug nose and blow while under water to release pressure from ears.

Answer 4

This is because of the path that the tear fluid takes to leave the eye. It is washed medially by the eyelids blinking and pools in the lacrimal lake. This happens during normal function but during crying it overflows from here creating tears. Anyway, from the lake the tears are drained through the lacrimal canaliculi into the lacrimal sac. This is more of a sinus than a storage area and from here the fluid is drained through the Nasolacrimal duct into the nasal cavity where the fluid is secreted into the middle meatus. During crying there is obviously much more fluid and so the nose runs.

Answer 5

When we cry, tears clean out our nasal passages which can lead to a build-up of mucus. Blowing your nose after crying helps to remove this excess mucus and clears the nasal passages for easier breathing. It can also help to relieve any discomfort or stuffiness in the nose.

Answer 6

Most of the tears that are secreted from the eyes drain away down the tear ducts, around the lower eyelids, which empty into the nose. Hence a runny nose that needs blowing !
