What structure drains excess tears to the nasal cavity causing the nose to run?

The nasolacrimal duct is responsible for draining excess tears from the eyes to the nasal cavity, which can cause the nose to run. Tears are produced in the lacrimal glands and then flow across the surface of the eye to the corner of the eye, where the nasolacrimal duct is located. From there, tears drain into the nasal cavity, which can lead to a runny nose.
