lingual tonsils
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.
palatine 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.

palatine tonsils
Sublingual tonsils are the second pair of tonsils that extend inferiorly from the base of tongue as opposed to the pair of palatine tonsils that are seen easily in the back of the oral cavity.
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.
Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system and are located at the top back of the throat. There are 2 of them.
