Natali [406]3 years ago

The name of the tear collecting structure under the skin near the bridge of the nose is the lacrimal sac. The lacrimal sac is part of the lacrimal drainage system or the lacrimal apparatus. The tears are produced in the lacrimal gland and will drain through a hole near the lower palpebral conjuntiva called the puncta which serves as the entrance in the lacrimal system. The tears will now enter the canalicula which serves as the passage way from the puncta to the lacrimal sac. Lastly, the tears in the lacrimal sac will drain to the nasolacrimal duct and to the nose. This also explains why we get runny nose when we are crying.

Are all organs weighed on a triple beam balance ?
Elanso [62]

No,not all organs are weighed on a triple beam balance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Usually smaller sized organs like adrenals, thyroid are commonly used to be weighed on triple beam balance, whereas larger organs like lungs, liver and heart can only be weighed on grocer's scale.
  • Only weight of the smaller body organs can be measured very precisely with the help of triple beam balance, where as if we measure the weight of the larger organs using the same triple beam balance,then the resultant value thus obtained will not be accurate enough.
  • Hence organs are weighed on a triple beam balance.
