The central nervous system is better protected than any other system or organ in the body. Its main line of defense is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury. A fluid-filled space below the bones, called the syrnix, provides shock absorbance.

Unfortunately, this protection can be a double-edged sword. When an injury to the central nervous system occurs, the soft tissue of the brain and spinal cord swells, causing pressure because of the confined space. The swelling makes the injury worse unless it is rapidly relieved. Fractured bones can lead to further damage and the possibility of infection.

Answer:

C. tarsal glands: produce tears

Explanation:

The tarsal plate refers to a thick fold of connective tissue that serves as a support to the eyelids. A row of tarsal glands is embedded in each tarsal plate. Tarsal glands are elongated modified sebaceous glands. Also known as meibomian glands, they secrete a fluid that helps keep the eyelids from adhering to each other. These glands do not produce tears. Tears are produced by lacrimal glands present in the lacrimal apparatus.
