The simplest lymphoid organs that are found at the entrance of the pharynx are the tonsils. There are three pairs of tonsils in the human body: the palatine tonsils, located on the sides of the throat, the lingual tonsils, located at the base of the tongue, and the pharyngeal tonsils, also known as adenoids, located at the back of the nasal cavity. These tonsils help in filtering and trapping pathogens that enter the body through the mouth and nose.
The space behind the oral cavity and above the laryngopharynx is called the oropharynx. This region plays a role in both breathing and digestion.
The oral cavity is located in the head and neck region of the human body. It is the space inside the mouth where food is ingested and begins the process of digestion. The oral cavity includes structures such as the lips, tongue, teeth, and salivary glands.
