Inferior and posterior to superior and anterior Inferior and medial to superior and lateral Lateral and anterior to medial and posterior Superior and lateral to inferior and medial Superior and lateral to inferior and medial The smaller palpebral part lies close to the eye, along the inner surface of the eyelid; if the upper eyelid is everted, the palpebral part can be seen. Both statements are true. Both statements are false. The first statement is true; the second is false. The first statement is false; the second is true Both statements are true From the nasolacrimal sac, the lacrimal fluid continues into the nasolacrimal duct,  ultimately draining into the inferior nasal meatus. This connection explains why crying leads to extra saliva. Both the statement and the reason are correct and related. Both the statement and the reason are correct but NOT related. The statement is correct, but the reason is NOT. The statement is NOT correct, but the reason is correct. NEITHER the statement NOR the reason is correct The statement is correct, but the reason is NOT From the following list of descriptions, select which descriptions could be used for the lacrimal gland.
