The Human Nasolacrimal Ducts
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-540-44076-5 (ISBN)
As a draining and secretory system, the nasolacrimal ducts play a role in tear transport and non-specific immune defense. In this book recent advances about the nasolacrimal ducts have been summarized and discussed in context with nasolacrimal duct pathophysiology.
