Detailed explanation-1: -The palatine (or faucial) tonsils, commonly referred to as tonsils, are bundles of lymphatic tissue located in the lateral oropharynx.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tonsils are part of MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue).
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic tissues located in the oropharynx are composed of a circumferential tonsillar ring, known as the Waldeyer’s ring which consists of the palatine tonsils (faucial tonsils), adenoid (nasopharyngeal tonsil), lingual tonsil, and tubal tonsils.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tonsils are large non-encapsulated (or partially encapsulated) masses of lymphoid tissue, that lie in the walls of the pharynx and nasopharynx and at the base of the tongue. The luminal surface of the tonsils are covered with a stratified squamous epithelium (in common with the oral epithelia).
