Why Does Water Come Out of Eyes When We Sad

Tears produced in response to that strong emotion you may experience from stress, pleasure, anger, sadness, and suffering to indeed, physical pain. Psychic tears even contain a natural painkiller, called leucine encephalin – perhaps, part of the reason why you might feel better after a good cry!


Well you probably know, the brain sends out messages to the body! feelings are a very powerful conduit of how we respond to sadness, joy, and allergies and pain! some people’s brains are hardwired as a response from learning! now you may be thinking, well infants cry. Yes, a result of discomfort and need. most often that behavior is responded to, hopefully in a positive way! In some ways, we are what is called Hardwired. we are social animals that can respond with empathy as well as sympathy. Dogs can cry with tears and so do monkeys! so I hope this gives you at least some idea.


How Do We Shed Tears or Why Tears Come Out When We Cry?

  • It is all because of our lacrimal system that sits next to our eyeball. This system acts as both a secretory system (that produces tears) and an excretory system (that drains them).
  • When a tear is produced from a lacrimal gland (that is present between eyeball and eyelid), we spontaneously blink, spreading the tear as a film across our eye.
  • Our tears then have 2 fates either it will remain there only, giving a blurring vision for a while or;
  • It can drain off down, subsequently draining through your nose (hence why our nose runs when we cry). Finally, you start crying!
