Detailed explanation-1: -All of these tonsillar structures together are sometimes called Waldeyer’s ring since they form a ring around the opening to the throat from the mouth and nose. This position allows them to prevent germs like viruses or bacteria from entering the body through the mouth or the nose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tonsils are lymph nodes in the back of the mouth and top of the throat. They help to filter out bacteria and other germs to prevent infection in the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your tonsils contain a lot of white blood cells, which help kill germs. As your tonsils are in the back of your throat, they can “catch” germs that enter your body through your nose or mouth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tonsils are clusters of lymphatic tissue just under the mucous membranes that line the nose, mouth, and throat (pharynx). There are three groups of tonsils. The pharyngeal tonsils are located near the opening of the nasal cavity into the pharynx.
