| lacrimal bay | The small cistern-like area of the conjunctiva at the medial angle of the eye, in which the tears collect after bathing the anterior surface of the eyeball and the conjunctival sac. Synonym: lacus lacrimalis, lacrimal bay. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal bone | An irregularly rectangular thin plate, forming part of the medial wall of the orbit behind the frontal process of the maxilla; it articulates with the inferior nasal concha, ethmoid, frontal, and maxillary bones. Synonym: os lacrimale, os unguis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal border of maxilla | The margin of the nasal surface of the maxilla that articulates with the lacrimal bone. Synonym: margo lacrimalis maxillae, lacrimal margin of maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal calculus | A concretion in the lacrimal apparatus. Synonym: lacrimal calculus, ophthalmolith, tear stone. Origin: dacryo-+ G. Lithos, stone (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal canaliculus | A curved canal beginning at the lacrimal punctum in the margin of each eyelid near the medial commissure and running transversely medially to empty with its fellow into the lacrimal sac. Synonym: canaliculus lacrimalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal caruncle | A small reddish body at the medial angle of the eye, containing modified sebaceous and sweat glands. Synonym: caruncula lacrimalis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lacrimal duct obstruction | Interference with the secretion of tears by the lacrimal glands. Obstruction of the lacrimal sac or nasolacrimal duct causing acute or chronic inflammation of the lacrimal sac (dacryocystitis). It is caused also in infants by failure of the nasolacrimal duct to open into the inferior meatus and occurs about the third week of life. In adults occlusion may occur spontaneously or after injury or nasal disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| lacrimal fossa | A hollow in the orbital plate of the frontal bone, formed by the overhanging margin and zygomatic process, lodging the lacrimal gland. Synonym: fossa glandulae lacrimalis, fossa of lacrimal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal gland | The gland that secretes tears; it consists of 6 to 12 separate compound tubuloalveolar serous glands, located in the upper lateral part of the orbit, and is partially divided into a smaller palpebral part and a larger orbital part by the aponeurosis of the levator palpebrae muscle. Synonym: glandula lacrimalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
