That is correct. The pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity, are commonly known as the adenoids. These tonsils play a role in the immune system by helping to fight off infections.
The three tonsils are the palatine tonsils (located at the back of the throat), the lingual tonsils (located at the base of the tongue), and the pharyngeal tonsil, also known as the adenoids (located in the nasopharynx).
No, if the tonsils are surgically removed (tonsillectomy), you cannot get tonsillitis because the tonsils, which are responsible for recurrent tonsillitis, are no longer present.
The lingual tonsils are located at the back of the tongue. They are a collection of lymphoid tissue that help protect the body from infections.
The lymphoid tissue in the oral cavity is called tonsils. There are three sets of tonsils in the oral cavity - palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils, and pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids). They play a role in immune responses by helping to protect against infections.
