Lacrimation is defined as which condition?

• A. Wound That Won't Heal
• B. Chronic Overflow Of Tears
• C. The Secretion Of Milk
• D. Infection Of The Inner Ear

Answer: (B)

Lacrimation is tear production and discharge. Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands and normally drain through the tear drainage system. When tearing is excessive and persistent, it’s described as chronic overflow of tears, i.e., lacrimation. The other options refer to a non-healing wound, lactation, and an inner ear infection, which are unrelated to tear production.
