tear duct
A tear duct, medically known as the nasolacrimal duct, is a small passage in the corner of the eye, through which tears drain from the eye into the nasal cavity. It is part of the body's system of producing and draining tears which serve to clean, lubricate, and protect the eyes. Blockage or malfunction of the tear duct can lead to persistent tearing or infections.
