OSTEOLOGY The lacrimal sac fossa is a depression in the
inferomedial orbital rim,
Maxillary and lacrimal bones.
Bordered by the anterior lacrimal crest (maxillary bone) & posterior lacrimal crest (lacrimal bone).
The fossa is approximately 16-mm high, 4- to 9-mm wide, and 2-mm deep.
![Page 11: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

It marks the roof of the ethmoid sinus. Bony dissection superior to this suture may expose the dura of the cranial cavity.
![Page 13: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The nasolacrimal canal originates at base of lacrimal fossa.
Formed by the maxillary bone laterally and the lacrimal and inferior turbinate bones medially.
The width of superior opening is 4–6 mm.
The duct courses posteriorly and laterally in the bone for 12 mm to drain into the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity.
![Page 14: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

THE LACRIMAL CANALICULI First vertical and then horizontal
Vertical part is 2 mm & turns medially at right-angle to become horizontal 8 mm
At angle - dilatation or ampulla.
The canaliculi pierce the fascia (i.e. the periorbita covering the lacrimal sac) separately,
Uniting to enter lacrimal sac.
Stratified squamous epithelium supported by elastic tissue.
![Page 35: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
THE LACRIMAL SAC Lacrimal fossa, formed by lacrimal bone and
frontal process of maxilla . The sac, closed above and open below, is
continuous with the nasolacrimal duct.
The sac is enclosed by a periorbita, splits &form the lacrimal fascia .

THE NASOLACRIMAL DUCT The nasolacrimal duct, continuation of lacrimal
sac to the inferior meatus.
15 mm.
It lies in a canal formed by the maxilla, lacrimal bone and lacrimal process of inferior concha.
It descends posterolaterally, a surface indication
a line from medial canthus to first upper molar.
![Page 38: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The valves They are folds of mucous
membrane with no valvular function.
The most constant is the 'valve' of Hasner at the lower end.
It prevents sudden blast of air (when blowing the nose) from entenng the lacrimal sac.
![Page 39: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Structure
Double-layered Epithelium
The superficial layer composed of columnar cells, the deeper cells being flatter.
The membranous wall of the sac is of fibroelastic tissue, the elastic element being continued around the canaliculi.
![Page 40: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Around the nasolacrimal duct is plexus of vessels, forming erectile tissue like that on the inferior concha.
Engorgement of these vessel obstruct the duct.
The course of the lacrimal sac and duct can be demonstrated by dacryocystography
![Page 41: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

![Page 42: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
PHYSIOLOGY
The tear film overlays corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
Tears produced by the ocular surface epithelia and adnexa.
Thickness of up to 40 µm,
Volume of tears covering the ocular surface range from 2.74 ± 2.0µL to 7 µL
TEAR FILM
![Page 43: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
For mucous and aqueous layers, secretion is regulated by neural reflexes.
For the lipid layer, the blink itself regulates release of pre-secreted meibomian gland .
Tear secretion is balanced by drainage and evaporation.
Drainage is regulated by neural reflexes ,causing vasodilation and vasoconstriction of blood sinus.
Evaporation depends blink rate and temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
![Page 44: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
THE ROLES OF THE PRECORNEAL TEAR FILM To protect the cornea from drying;
To maintain the refractive power of the cornea;
To defend against eye infection;
To allow gas to move between the air and the avascular cornea;
To support corneal dehydration (assisted by the tear film hyperosmolality).
![Page 45: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Consists of four layers
Glycocalyx Mucous layer
Aqueous layer.
Lipid layers
![Page 46: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
![Page 47: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
GLYCOCALYX Structure
The glycocalyx is a network of polysaccharides that project from cellular surfaces.
Mucins are classified into secreted and membrane-spanning mucin.
Secreted mucins are either gel-forming or small soluble
Function
The membrane-spanning mucins function to hydrate the ocular surface and serve as a barrier to pathogens.
Membrane-spanning mucins appear to be altered in dry eye
![Page 48: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
MUCOUS LAYER Structure
The mucous layer backbone is the gel-forming mucin , synthesized and secreted by conjunctival goblet cells.
Function To resistance of the eye to infection by providing
protection against microorganisms. Mucins serve as wetting agents that keep the apical
epithelia hydrated.
![Page 49: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
AQUEOUS LAYER
Lacrimal gland produce aqueous layer.
Other ocular surface epithelia also contribute to the aqueous layer, eg. conjunctiva, accessory lacrimal glands
7µm thick.
Without the lubrication , the shearing forces produced on blinking will cause accumulative ocular surface damage.
![Page 50: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Composed of water, with many solutes, including dissolved mucins, electrolyte sand proteins.
The osmotic pressure : concentrations of sodium, potassium and chloride ions.
The tear film’s osmotic pressure is important in the control of cornea–tear film water flux.
Bicarbonate and carbonate : pH buffering, maintaining the pH at 7.3–7.6 when the eyes open & 6.8 eyes closed.
![Page 51: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Aqueous layer function Aqueous deficiency dry eye. Protection from bacterial infection Reflex secretion washes away noxious
substances. Protects against changes in pH.
![Page 52: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
LIPID LAYER
Meibomian glands, modified sebaceous glands, that line the upper and lower eyelids.
Meibomian gland lipids are stored in vesicles.
The secretory product contains a complex mixture of lipids and proteins and is termed meibum.
Meibum is released on to the ocular surface in small amounts with each blink.
0.1m in thickness
![Page 53: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Function Hydrophobic barrier to prevent tear overflow.
The meibom forms a water-tight seal of the apposed lid margins during sleep.
Reduce tear evaporation .
Lipids enhance the stability of the tear film and provide a smooth optical.
![Page 54: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
![Page 55: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
DISTRIBUTION OF THE TEARS Conjunctival fornices, preocular tear film, and
marginal tear strips. Marginal tear strips are wedge shaped tear
menisci, borders of upper and lower lids. Apposed lacrimal puncta dip into marginal
strip of tears Anterior limit of the marginal strip is the
mucocutaneous junction of the lid,
![Page 56: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
![Page 57: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
CONDUCTION OF THE TEARS
Tears are lost from the conjunctiva sac by absorption, evaporation, and nasolacrimal system.
This is related to the size of the palpebral aperture, the blink rate, ambient temperature and humidity.
![Page 58: anatomy and physiology of lacrimal apparatus ppt](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061604/555cc515d8b42a64718b5346/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Tears flow the upper and lower marginal strips → upper and
lower canaliculi (capillarity+suction) Eyes close
Pretarsal orbicularis oculi compresses the ampullae+ shortens and compresses canaliculi+puncta medially.
Lacrimal part of the orbicularis oculi, contracts → compresses the sac,(positive pressure) tears → nasolacrimal duct → nose.
Eyes open Muscles relax → canaliculi and sac expand(negative
pressure)+capillarity= tears into sac.
