Detailed explanation-1: -The tonsils are a set of lymphoid organs facing into the aerodigestive tract, which is known as Waldeyer’s tonsillar ring and consists of the adenoid tonsil, two tubal tonsils, two palatine tonsils, and the lingual tonsils . These organs play an important role in the immune system.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the oropharynx, the lymphoid tissue known as the palatine tonsils has deep crypts in the surface that can harbor bacteria and secretions that can lead to tonsillitis.
