Embryology
Primitive Cord of cells derived from surface ectoderm, sequestered in the naso-maxillary groove, forms the future lacrimal drainage system.

Lacrimal Apparatus
It consists of:
(a) The Lacrimal gland, which secretes the tears, and
its excretory ducts, which convey the fluid to the surface of the eye;
(b) The Lacrimal canaliculi, the Lacrimal sac, and the Nasolacrimal duct, by which the fluid is conveyed into the cavity of the nose.

The lacrimal gland secretes tears, which contain lysozyme and electrolytes similar to plasma. They look similar to salivary glands, with the typical appearance of serous cells. Tubuloacinar gland

Puncta
Puncta
are openings 0.3 mm in diameter located on the medial aspect of the upper and lower eyelid margins. elevated mound known as the papilla lacrimalis.
Puncta
are directed posteriorly against the globe; therefore, they are not usually visible unless the eyelid is everted. Punctal ectropion may lead to inadequate tear drainage and resulting epiphora. inferior punctum is approximately 0.5 mm lateral to the superior punctum, with distances to the medial canthus of 6.5 mm and 12/10/12 6.0 mm, respectively. Tears within
The
double puncta, and congenital slits of the puncta all may occur from aberrations in the location of the epithelial cord and its opening to the surface epithelium.

Canaliculi
Canaliculi
have an initial vertical segment, measuring 2 mm, followed by an 8-mm horizontal segment. horizontal segments is approximately 90 degrees, and the canaliculi dilate at the junction to form the ampulla.
before entering the lacrimal sac. At its entrance to the lacrimal sac, the common canaliculus may dilate slightly, forming the sinus of Maier.

12/10/12
Canaliculi
are lined by nonkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium and are surrounded by elastic tissue, which permits dilation to 2 or 3 times the normal diameter. canaliculus into the lacrimal sac forms the valve of Rosenmller, which prevents retrograde reflux of fluid from the sac into the canaliculi.
12/10/12
the upper and lower canaliculi followed by anterior angulation of the common canaliculus may also block reflux at the canaliculus-sac junction.
An incompetent valve of Rosenmller
is observed clinically as air escaping from the lacrimal puncta when the individual blows his or her nose.
12/10/12
many cases, particularly in patients with mesodermal dysplasia, the lacrimal canaliculi and puncta may be absent and a normal tear sac and nasolacrimal duct may be present but not connected to the eyelid surface.

Lacrimal sac
The
lacrimal sac sits within the lacrimal fossa, which is bound anteriorly by the frontal process of the maxillary bone (anterior lacrimal crest) and posteriorly by the lacrimal bone (posterior lacrimal crest).

The fundus extends 3-5 mm above
the superior portion of the medial canthal tendon, and the body extends approximately 10 mm below the fundus to the osseous opening of 12/10/12 the nasolacrimal canal.

The lacrimal fascia is surrounded by
