Homonym: Crying (Weeping)
Crying is a natural emotional response that involves shedding tears. It can occur due to various feelings, such as sadness, joy, frustration, or relief. The act of crying is often accompanied by changes in facial expressions and body language, signaling to others that a person is experiencing strong emotions.
Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands located in the eyes. There are different types of tears: basal tears, which keep the eyes moist; reflex tears, which protect the eyes from irritants; and emotional tears, which are linked to feelings. Crying can serve as a way to communicate distress or seek comfort from others.
