- W2059585997 abstract "The human efferent tear ducts are part of the lacrimal system. Because little knowledge exists concerning the physiology of the nasolacrimal system, and hence its patho- physiology, the nasolacrimal system has received almost no consideration as a possible factor in dry eye. The human nasolacrimal ducts consist of the upper and the lower lacrimal canaliculus, the lacrimal sac, and the nasolacrimal duct. As a draining and secretory system, the efferent tear ducts play a role in tear transport and nonspecific immune defense. Moreover, components of tear fluid are absorbed in the nasolacrimal passage and are transported into a surrounding vascular system. This system is similar to a cavernous body that is subject to autonomic control and regulates tear outflow. Tear duct-associated lymphoid tissue (TALT) is present in the efferent tear ducts, displaying the cytomorphological and immunophenotypic features of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Under normal conditions, tear fluid components are constantly absorbed into the blood vessels of the surrounding cavernous body. These vessels are connected to the blood vessels of the outer eye and could act as a feedback signal for tear fluid production, which ceases if these tear components are not absorbed. In this way, dry eye could be initiated. Defective stimulation of TALT could result in abnormal immune deviation at the ocular surface, leading to an autoimmunological response that causes dry eye pathology." @default.
