Hello!
Thanks in advance for checking my question!
____
3. Lacrimal bones form the walls of the (1 point)
a) eyes.
b) nose.
c) mouth.
d) ears.
My Answer: A
I'm not sure on this one, and the book doesn't have much information about it.
The book says,
"Lacrimal Bones, The lacrimal bones are fingernail-sized bones forming part of the medial walls of each orbit. Each lacrimal bone has a groove that serves as a passageway for tears (lacrima = tear)."
Could someone please help me?
Thanks!

Yes, you're right. I associate lacrymal with tears.
Thank you so much! :)
You are very welcome.
Hi Da Fash!
You're on the right track with your answer. According to the information you've provided from the book, lacrimal bones are part of the medial walls of each orbit. The orbits are the bony sockets that house the eyes. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed A) eyes.
To find the answer, you can rely on the knowledge that lacrimal bones are involved in tear production and drainage. Additionally, you can refer to anatomical diagrams or textbooks that illustrate the skull and its bony structures to confirm that lacrimal bones are located near the eyes.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
