Detailed explanation-1: -Tonsils are small masses of tissue at the back of the mouth and nose and at the top of the throat. Tonsils have many lymphocytes. The adenoid (pharyngeal tonsil) is a single, small mass of lymphatic tissue in the back of the nose that contains lymphocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are tonsils? Your tonsils are two round, fleshy masses in the back of your throat (pharynx). Part of your immune system, your tonsils are like lymph nodes. They help filter out germs that enter through your nose or mouth to protect the rest of your body from infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tonsils are lumps of tissue at the back of the throat. There are two of them, one on each side. Along with the adenoids, tonsils are part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps body fluids in balance.
