10 Unique Facts about Tears



1. There Is More Than One Tear Type

Not all tears are created equal. Basal tears are a thing that always exists in our eyes and serves the purpose of lubricating, feeding and protecting the eyes. A second type of tear, called a reflex tear, is formed to protect the eyes from irritants, such as wind, smoke or onions. And there is some evidence to show that these two types of tears differ chemically from one another. The third type of tears is probably the one we know best, spilled after a fight with a spouse or while watching a movie: emotional tears. One study of the 1980s found that emotional tears may contain more protein than other types of tears.

2. Biochemically, The Composition of the Tears Similar to the Saliva and, among other things, they consist of protein, salt and hormones.

3. Women More Often Crying than Men

As we know, women do cry more often than men. The ratio for this is approximately 5.3 times per month for women and 1.4 for men. The comparison is arguably 5 to 1. And, according to German research reported by The Telegraph, the average crying session lasts six minutes for women and two to four minutes for a man. (The same study found that crying turned into a 65 percent sobbing in cases for women and only 6 percent for men.)

4. The Causes of Tear Out The Unknown Definition

The scientists are confused about the exact cause why humans cry and tear out. Initially researchers found that humans cry because there is pressure within them. Over time researchers also found that humans cried to address problems. But there are also babies who cry to attract the attention of parents. To express guilt or a tool used to save a relationship.

5. How Much Gender Differences Can Be Cultural

Bylsma writes in one of his papers: The number of gender differences in crying also seems to be different from the characteristics of a particular country. Surprisingly, in Western cultures with greater freedom and equal treatment for women, women cry more often than traditional cultures, while the differences between men in different cultures are less substantial. This insight strongly challenges the notion that crying is just a symptom like a reflex, resulting from specific feelings. Women are biologically advised to shed more tears than men. Under the microscope, the female tear gland cells look different from men. The men's tears are bigger than women, so if a man and a woman cry, her tears will spill over his cheeks faster.

6. Tears Coming from the Lakrimal Gland

It is found on the outside of the upper eye. As the tears flow, they flow into the small channel in the nasal cavity. And if you have too many tears to dry, they will be wasted and out through the eyes.

7. Syn-propanethial-S-oxide is the Reason Onions Make You Cry

This is caused by a chemical irritant that stimulates the lacrimal gland, thus making you tear.

8. Crocodile's tears are real

Crocodiles cry not because of a sadness, but this is just like our own tears to lubricate the eyes. This may be more relevant to crocodiles as they have a third eyelid.

9. Actually Tears are also Helpful

Although sometimes painful when shedding tears of sadness, but it turns out tears can be useful. Research shows that the tears released when sad contain stress hormones. If this tear is released it will cause a feeling of relief finished crying. Crying when sad or happy has the same mechanism Differentiation is just the emotion felt by that person.

10. When Crying, Normally will Exit Fluid from Nose

Many people start to take fluids from their noses when they cry. This is actually a natural occurrence. When the tear glands secrete excessive tears, some flow into the nostrils and out through the nose. This means that coming out of the nose is not a slimy snot, but a tear through the nostrils. There are also people who feel dizzy after crying. Researchers assume that this is related to dehydration experienced in the head because too much fluid is released.

That is a fact about tears that you may never know before. Hopefully useful.
