Why do we have a running nose when we cry ?

I have observed it . When we cry tears come out of our eyes . That is quite obvious . But most of us will have the running nose too along with it . The liquid or snot we are having through our nose is quite watery unlike what we have when we get cold .


It is because the tears from our eye not only drain out onto our face , there is also a passage way in the inner corner of our eye that directly leads to our nose . In nose , tears get mixed with mucus ( which is already present there ) to form a very liquidy snot .



This is actually happening all the time . But we don't notice . But when we cry , there is lots of moisture from our eyes going into our nose , than the normal . Thus making the mucus even more liquidy than it would otherwise be .
