The first image shows the anatomy of the eye and the tear drainage system. The pink structures highlighted are the lacrimal gland (located superolaterally in the orbit) and the lacrimal drainage system, which includes the lacrimal canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct. Together, these components make up the lacrimal apparatus.
