tonsillectomy part of what body system
I'm going to refer you to an ear nose and throat specialist. I think he'll recommend a tonsillectomy (tonsil removal). Rachael and her son saw the specialist, who did recommend a tonsillectomy. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, a network of tiny tubes and nodes all over the body. It is mostly a drainage system. Lymph drains into the tubes, which carry it to the heart, where it reenters the blood. En route to the heart, lymph passes through nodes. How can lymph move through the system if you remove part of it?
