Crying is part of our human emotional package – love it or hate it. Of course women are definitely better at it than men with the number of cries per year estimated at 50 and 10 respectively. It begs the questions how does it all work and what triggers our waterworks when we are both sad and happy? Get your tissues at the ready it’s all about tears this week.
Crying can be scientifically defined as the shedding of your tears in response to an emotional state very different from lacrimation which is the non-emotional shedding of tears.
With that said your plumbing apparatus that makes your tears is all the same. So before I dazzle you with the fact that we have more than one type of tear let us explore the science of tear production and how it links to the emotional center of your brain. To do this we are going to use the classic example, the break-up.

With the beginning of the end of the relationship, the production of your tears can begin. It is all down to your lacrimal system
(think of it like your inbuilt Thames Water supply) that sits next to your eyeball. It is both a secretory system that produces your tears and an excretory system that drains them.
