Any one of four tear-producing glands that lubricate and drain the eye. Two glands lie in the upper, outer corner of the eye socket and drain onto the conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the eyeball) when the eye is irritated or when the person is crying. Two accessory glands lie in the conjunctiva itself, supplying tears directly onto the membrane to maintain a constant film.<\/p>\n
The gland that secretes tears. It is a tubuloalveolar gland located in the orbit, superior and lateral to the eyeball, and consists of a large superior portion (pars orbitalis) and a smaller inferior portion (pars palpebralis).<\/p>\n
The gland responsible for tear production is situated in a depression of the bone that shapes the brow, located in the upper outer area of the eye socket.<\/p>\n
