Definition of Lacrimal gland
Lacrimal gland definition - medical term
A small almond-shaped structure that produces tears. The
lacrimal gland is located just above the outer corner of the eye. The lacrimal gland
is part of the lacrimal apparatus, the system that forms tears, conveys them through
the lacrimal (tear) duct to the eye, and drains the tears.
The word "lacrimal" comes from the Indo-European "dakru" meaning "a tear, as
from a weeping eye." "Lacrimal" is sometimes spelled "lachrymal."
