What is the part of the eyes that drain tears called?
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology 2021, the tear duct is part of the tear drainage system. It drains tears through the nasal bone and into the back of the nose. The tear duct is also called the nasolacrimal duct.
It is very important for the eyes to release some moisture called tears which will help avoid eye dryness and some chronic eye diseases.
A tear duct is a small tube that drains tears from the eyes. Tears are made in glands under the eyelids. They wash over the eyes to keep them moist and clean. Then, they drain though the tear ducts."The Nemours Foundation"

1st Q from Stephanie. Yet seems well versed in Lillyism.

Denise Currie,
I don't know for sure but I think Lily is the name that the rest of the sad sacks are now using. Have you not noticed that the rest of them hardly submit any questions as they again are all using Lily. You will probably see you a few more questions from them after this posting.
I just tried submitting a question and it was dinged approximately 40 times for inane reasons so I took it down.

Jerry Edwards, I agree! It's not that much fun when it's a give away! 😊👍

Why could they not say "lacrimal ducts"!?
Joanne Serin
Lynne Zeman, or Carolism

Denise Currie,
Clone? Are you sure when you spoke into your phone saying CLOWN clone came out in error? 😂

Lacrimal ducts.

tbear, Lilly is by far the worst, I have just done this morning's bonus quiz and 9 of the questions were Lilly's and one from Stevie G. Needless to say I got the bonus, but it does get boring when you don't have to use your brain a little
Michele Haranin
Punctum is the accurate term.
Mary Ruth Martell
Denise Currie, Looks like it, unfortunately!
Alex Markin
Wow. The right answer was by far the most unlikely response. Who would have thunk tear ducts related to tear drains. Hats off to the quizmaster for mastering the obvious.

Denise Currie, You must be right. Joined 11/2021, Top Score 3400 in Nov, Performance 0.0%. At least there isn't a stockpile of questions like Lilly came in with.

Bridy4u , That's what I was looking for, so had to go with second best.

tbear,
Maybe once in a long while.... But not all the time.
I really don't know why Admin change the names. It's so obvious, sometimes.

Denise Currie, my thought, exactly! Though, an easy point isn't to hard to take, once in awhile! 😂👍
