Detailed explanation-1: -Tonsils are tiny organs located at the back of our throat. They are part of the lymphatic system and play a key role in our overall health.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphoid tissues are organized into structures of increasing complexity depending on the function they serve. The simplest such structures are diffuse lymphoid cells, followed by lymphoid cells collected into follicles, follicles collected into patches, and follicles and/or patches collected into organs.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. Tonsils are also called palatine tonsils or faucial tonsils. Sometimes tonsils can become red, swollen or infected.
