Tonsil
The tonsil located in the oropharynx at the end of the soft palate is the palatine tonsil. This tonsil plays a role in the immune system by helping to protect against infections that enter the body through the mouth and nose. Sometimes, inflammation or infection of the palatine tonsils can lead to conditions like tonsillitis.
The unpaired tonsil located in the nasopharynx is the pharyngeal tonsil, also known as the adenoid. It is an important component of the immune system, helping to trap and respond to pathogens entering the body through the nasal cavity. The pharyngeal tonsil can become enlarged, particularly in children, leading to breathing difficulties or ear infections.
Tonsils grow in proportion as a person grows. So the size the tonsil in a child is in proportion to the size of the tonsil in an adult.
