Question
select all that apply
which of the following are components of the lacrimal apparatus? select all that apply.
□ lacrimal gland
□ nasal cavity
□ lacrimal ducts
□ conjunctiva
The lacrimal apparatus consists of structures that produce and drain tears. The lacrimal gland produces tears. Lacrimal ducts (including canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct) drain tears. The conjunctiva is part of the eye's protective layer and is involved in tear distribution. The nasal cavity is not a direct component of the lacrimal apparatus; it is where tears eventually drain into but is not a structural part of the apparatus itself.
