Answers:
The top and bottom lids of each eye have little drainage portals called puncta that lead to the lacrimal ducts which drain tears that are produced to lubricate the eye!. The lacrimal ducts drain tears into the back of the nose up and then down into the throat!. But, if you have an overabundance of tears (which happens when you cry) then there is a large amount of tear flow through the ducts into the back of the nose!. Rather than flowing back and down the throat, a significant amount of these overflow tears flow forward into the nose and then drain out (hence your nose runs) There ya go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
