do we have two sets of tonsils
Anatomy of Tonsils. There are three sets of tonsils in the back of the mouth: the adenoids, the palantine and the lingual tonsils. These tonsils are found in pairs, one on each side of the body, and are typically small in size. They are made up of lymphatic tissue, a type of tissue that helps filter infection and bacteria from the body.
The surface of this tonsil has pits leading to lower lymphatic tissue as in the other two tonsil types, but these pits are effectively drained by small glands (mucous glands), and infection is rare.
