Tonsils are a pair of prominent masses of lymphoid tissue that lie on each side of the throat between two folds of soft tissue that bound the fauces. They are a part of the body's immune system. Because of their location in the throat, they are able to stop infective agents from entering the body through the mouth or nose.
There are different types of tonsils
- Palatine tonsils
- Pharyngeal tonsils or Adenoids
- Lingual tonsils
All these together are called Waldeyer's ring as they form a ring around the opening to the throat and help to prevent the entry of bacteria or viruses from entering the body. A tonsillitis is an inflammation of the two tiny, oval-shaped masses of tissue that are found at the back of the throat. The tonsils are a component of the immune system and aid in preventing infection.
