Tonsils, palatine tonsils and Waldeyer's ring. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic (Immune System)
Tonsils are actually a collection of lymphoid tissue, not a single tissue. There are several types of tonsils in the body, including palatine, lingual, and pharyngeal tonsils. These tonsils work together to help protect the body from infections.
Other than GALT as being diffuse lymphoid tissue, the tonsils are also part of it. We have 3 types of tonsils, palatine, lingual and pharyngeal. A prominent feature are the tonsilar crypts with increase surface area for immune cells to interact with antigen.
There are FIVE pairs of tonsils in the pharynx or throat, though the exact number will differ depending on the textbook:Nasal (lymphatic tissue in the nose)Adenoids/Pharangeal/Luschka (nasopharynx)Palatine (oropharynx)Tubal (pharynx side of the auditory tubes)Lingual (oropharynx)Note: the cerebellar tonsil is a structure in the brain.
laryngeal tonsilsok, i think you mean 'pharyngeal tonsils'. we actually only have one of those at the very back of the throat which isn't generally reffered to as being a tonsil. we actually have 4 types of tonsil, but we call the two 'masses' at the sides of the back of the throat 'the tonsils' more often. these tonsils are called the palatine tonsils, or faucial tonsils.hope it helped x
Tonsils can become infected and form abscesses, which can potentially rupture if left untreated. However, it is not common for tonsils to rupture in a way that is similar to other types of organs or tissues in the body. If you are experiencing severe tonsil pain or swelling, it is important to seek medical attention to prevent complications.
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.
