Question: Describe the tear pathway from start to finish.

Answer: Tears are produced by the lacrimal gland and the accessory lacrimal glands and cover the cornea. Tears then drain out the punctum in the medial eyelids, flow down the canaliculi into the lacrimal sac. They then drain down the nasolacrimal duct into the nose at the inferior meatus (under the inferior turbinate).
