where is the lacrimal gland located
Lacrimal glands are located next to the outer side of the eye within the eye socket (orbit). More specifically they are located in the supero-lateral region of the orbit within the lacrimal fossa of the frontal bone. They are responsible for producing the aqueous component of tears. Whereas the lacrimal gland produces tears, they are stored in lacrimal sacs located to the inner side of the eye within the orbit.
