There are FIVE pairs of tonsils in the pharynx or throat, though the exact number will differ depending on the textbook:
1. Pharyngeal tonsils- located in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx
2. Palatine tonsils- located postlateral region of the oral cavity
3. Lingual tonsils- located along the posterior one-third of the tongue
The three types of tonsils are:
Palantine tonsils - These are the most commonly removed tonsils, located at the back of your throat.
Lingual tonsils - These tonsils are located underneath your tongue.
Pharyngeal tonsils or Adenoids - These tonsils are located behind your nasopharyngeal area, higher in your throat near your nose.
adenoids (aka. pharyngeal tonsils) - roof of pharynxs palatine tonsils - sides of pharynx lingual tonsils - back of tongue (behind terminal sulcus)
Pharryngeal Tonsils, Tubal Tonsils and Palatine Tonsils.
lingual tonsils
Palatine tonsils and adenoids are NOT synonymous. Palatine tonsils, sometimes called faucial tonsils, are found at the back of the throat. Adenoids are the pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity.
No, if you have no tonsils then you cannot have inflamed tonsils.
No everybody has tonsils. But if they get infected then you're sick. I had my tonsils taken out because they were infected not everyone gets infected tonsils but its better if you get tonsilitus (infected tonsils) when you're a kid because its more dangerous to get then surgically removed when you're older.
palatine tonsils

The simplest lymphoid organs that are found at the entrance of the pharynx are the tonsils. There are three pairs of tonsils in the human body: the palatine tonsils, located on the sides of the throat, the lingual tonsils, located at the base of the tongue, and the pharyngeal tonsils, also known as adenoids, located at the back of the nasal cavity. These tonsils help in filtering and trapping pathogens that enter the body through the mouth and nose.
