Verified step by step guidance

Understand the location and function of each type of tonsil: Palatine, Pharyngeal, and Lingual.

Palatine tonsils are located on either side of the oral cavity at the back of the throat. They are the most commonly known tonsils and are often the ones removed during a tonsillectomy.

Pharyngeal tonsils, also known as adenoids, are located in the roof of the nasopharynx, which is the upper part of the throat behind the nose.

Lingual tonsils are located at the base of the tongue and are less commonly discussed compared to the other two types.

Identify which tonsils are positioned to trap pathogens entering through the oral cavity. The palatine tonsils are strategically located at the posterior end of the oral cavity, making them the primary pair responsible for trapping pathogens in this area.
