Sense organs
Looks like
A small pouch in a bony groove beside the nose, at the inner corner of the eye.
What it does
Collects tears from the canaliculi and passes them down into the nasolacrimal duct.
Keeping it well
Infection (dacryocystitis) makes a painful red lump beside the nose — see a doctor; surgery can open a new drain.
