tonsils and adenoids
Humans also possess lingual tonsils at the base of the tongue and pharyngeal tonsils, commonly known as adenoids, located in the back of the throat. These tonsils, along with the palatine tonsils, are part of the lymphatic system and help protect the body against infections.
No, tonsils are located in the back of the throat, not in the nose cavity. The nose cavity contains structures such as the nasal passages, sinuses, and turbinates.
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.
The lymphoid system is made up of the thymus gland, tonsils, adenoids, lymph vessels, and lymph nodes. These vessels and nodes are located throughout the torso, head and neck, and extremities.
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.
Pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
Adenoids and Tonsils trap harmful microorganisms, so they could not enter the respiratory system.
