How many tear ducts do we have in each eye?

Answer 1

One in each eye. To better understand what these ducts do and where they are, search "lacrimal duct" in your yahoo.com search browser.

Answer 2

One -, The eye and eyelids are lined by a fluid layer called the tear film. This is so fine as to be nearly invisible. It can just be seen as a 'sheen' on the eye surface and of course is more obvious when a person weeps. A healthy tear film is essential to the eye - it lubricates it, contains antibacterial agents and provides oxygen and nourishment. The tear film is not a simple layer of water but a complex mixture of water, lipids (oils), mucous and proteins. The lacrimal glands (located behind the eye) produce the water and antibacterial agents, the meibomium glands (located in the eyelids) produce the lipids and numerous cells distributed on the eye surface produce the mucous. The tear film is not static. In fact it is constantly being renewed, spread around the eye surface by the action of blinking and discharged into the tear ducts. The opening of the tear ducts are on the inner corner of the eyelids (the same side as the nose) and can just be seen as minute dots.

Both upper and lower eyelids contain 30-40 meibomium glands, located beneath the skin. Their pores open just behind the base of the eyelashes on the eyelid margin. The fluids are drained away by the ducts two tiny tubes called lacrimal ducts, into the nasoloma criminal sac - then to the nasolaoma criminal duct to the nose, and on to the throat.

most colds are caught by germs entering the eye from our hands, and traveling down this route to our noses.
