Question 1 • Biology - SC3209 IC

What would be a symptom of an under-producing lacrimal gland?

Answer
A
excess tears
B
dry eyes
C
excess saliva
D
dry mouth

Explanation

The lacrimal glands produce tears that keep the surface of the eyes moist. If they under-produce tears, the eyes can become dry, so the symptom is dry eyes (choice B). Excess tears would suggest overproduction or poor tear drainage, while saliva is made by different glands.
