It is common for people to experience very moving situations (sad movies, etc) and have a physical reaction to it (such as crying). I am curious about how emotions can physically lead to the act of crying. Why/how does this happen? What is the mechanism?
Answer
When we are sad, our emotions are in an overdrive and the parasympathetic nervous system triggers lacrimation i.e. tears, and we cry.
