There are FIVE pairs of tonsils in the pharynx or throat, though the exact number will differ depending on the textbook:
The lymphoid tissue in the oral cavity is called tonsils. There are three sets of tonsils in the oral cavity - palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils, and pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids). They play a role in immune responses by helping to protect against infections.
The protective ring of lymphoid tissue surrounding the internal opening of the nose and mouth is formed by tonsils. There are three types of tonsils: palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils, and pharyngeal (adenoid) tonsils. They help protect the body from infections by trapping and destroying pathogens that enter through the nose and mouth.
That is correct. The pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity, are commonly known as the adenoids. These tonsils play a role in the immune system by helping to fight off infections.
No, if the tonsils are surgically removed (tonsillectomy), you cannot get tonsillitis because the tonsils, which are responsible for recurrent tonsillitis, are no longer present.
The lingual tonsils are located at the back of the tongue. They are a collection of lymphoid tissue that help protect the body from infections.

The lymphoid tissue in the oral cavity is called tonsils. There are three sets of tonsils in the oral cavity - palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils, and pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids). They play a role in immune responses by helping to protect against infections.
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, palatine tonsils and Waldeyer's ring. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic (Immune System)
whether you keep you're tonsils or not is entirely up to you. i still have my tonsils, and it's been three years since I've been sick and never had tonsillitis :)
That is correct. The pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity, are commonly known as the adenoids. These tonsils play a role in the immune system by helping to fight off infections.

Tonsils, palatine tonsils and Waldeyer's ring. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic (Immune System)
Both the tonsils are removed during tonsillectomy
The correct spelling is "tonsils."
