Statement 1: Mucus and tears provide lubrication to the eye which is produced by conjunctiva.
Statement 2 - Lacrimal gland is an exocrine gland which produces the aqueous portion of the tears and protects the eye.
Statement 1 and statement 2 both are correct.
Statement 1 is correct, statement 2 is incorrect.
Statement 2 is correct, statement 1 is incorrect.
