Answer: B - The system that produces tears is called the lacrimal system. This is a system of glands that produce tears behind the eyebrows, which flow into the eyes and drain out through the lacrimal punta, into the nose. A common ailment of babies is lacrimal ductal stenosis, a condition that occurs when the lacrimal ducts become clogged, causing a buildup in the inner corners of the eyes.
