What are in tears?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

I got this from dictionary.com-

a drop of the saline, watery fluid continually secreted by the lacrimal glands between the surface of the eye and the eyelid, serving to moisten and lubricate these parts and keep them clear of foreign particles. 2. this fluid appearing in or flowing from the eye as the result of emotion, esp. grief. 3. something resembling or suggesting a tear, as a drop of a liquid or a tearlike mass of a solid substance, esp. having a spherical or globular shape at one end and tapering to a point at the other. 4. Glassmaking. a decorative air bubble enclosed in a glass vessel; air bell.
