Verified step by step guidance

Identify the anatomical location of the lacrimal fossa. It is a depression in the frontal bone of the skull, located near the inner corner of the eye socket.

Understand the function of the lacrimal fossa. It serves as a space to accommodate the lacrimal sac, which is part of the tear drainage system.

Differentiate between the options provided: the pituitary gland, the ramus of the mandible, the inner ear, and the frontal sinus, and determine their anatomical locations.

Recognize that the pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, the ramus of the mandible is part of the jawbone, the inner ear is located within the temporal bone, and the frontal sinus is an air-filled cavity in the frontal bone.

Conclude that the lacrimal sac, which is involved in draining tears from the eye into the nasal cavity, is the structure located in the lacrimal fossa.
