Lachrymocyte

Lacrimal cells are cells that are produced by the lacrimal glands and are released during crying, sneezing, coughing, laughing and other emotions. They play an important role in regulating water balance and maintaining eye health.

Lacrymocytes are large cells with an oval or round shape that contain large amounts of water. They have many functions, including protecting the eyes from damage, maintaining electrolyte balance, and regulating the pH level of tear fluid.

One of the main functions of lachrymocytes is to protect the eyes from harmful environmental influences. They contain a large amount of proteins that protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation and other harmful factors. In addition, lachrymocytes help maintain the health of eye tissues such as the cornea and conjunctiva.

Lacrimocytes are also involved in maintaining the electrolyte balance in tear fluid and regulating pH levels. This is important for maintaining eye health and preventing the development of various diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma.

In addition, lachrymocytes play an important role in emotional regulation. When we cry, sneeze or cough, our tear glands begin to produce lacrimal cells, which help us cope with these emotions.

Overall, lachrymocytes are an important part of our immune system and help us maintain eye health and cope with emotional states.



Lacrimal cells or lacrimal cells are cells that are part of the upper layer of glands and secretory tissues of the lacrimal. The glands of the eyes, performing the function of their glands (tear production), are located behind the ciliary body along the free edges of the pupils existing from the inner half of the eyelid. The number of lacrimacites present in the eye increases in direct proportion with increasing load on the ciliary body of the eye.

Functional significance Lacrimal cells have very low acidity, which helps protect the lens and cornea from chemical, mechanical and temperature influences. In addition, the surface of the lacrimal glands is covered by the so-called “fussy epithelium,” which forms about ⅔ of the entire surface of the glands. This division of the eye glands into high and low producing ones allows the eye to have high quality indicators of tear production, provided there is a sufficient amount of lacrimal tissue. Tear cells, in the process of their division, produce a huge number of epithelial cells covered with hairy tissue, which provide the protective characteristics of tears. That is why these cells received such a name. In addition, before leaving the glands, all lacrimal jelly are saturated with lysozyme, an antibacterial enzyme that kills most bacteria that land on the surface of the gland.

Description Lacrima (tear) cell layer has an outer surface, which is equipped with a cuticular membrane at the edges. On each side of all the internal cells of the inner and middle parts of the glands are small crystals of calcium carbonate and calcium bicarbonate. The cytoplasm is quite developed, the hyaloid apparatus is present.
