Answers:
Tears aren't just salty water!.!.!.tears are made of tear film, a microscopically three-layered structure!.

Each tear has three layers: an inner layer of mucus, a middle layer of proper water, and an outer layer of fatty substances called meibum!.

Below is a link to an awesome read on the discovery of meibum, which is a class of fatty substance previously only known in the brain, where it induces sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your brain sends signals to your optic nerve causing the macula to gather salty water that is released (much like a super-soaker) by the Iris!. Heart-break, sad movies, pinching, intense laughter, etc!. are common causes of tearsWww@Answer-Health@Com
