The number of tonsils in the human body depends on what location you are asking about, but in the mouth and throat there are 4 sets; the pharyngeal tonsils, tubal tonsils, palatine tonsils, and lingual tonsils.
If you are talking about other structures that are named tonsils, there are many others such as the cerebellar tonsils.
