The tonsils are a part of the body's immune system and are located at the back of the throat. There are three main types of tonsils: the palatine tonsils, the pharyngeal tonsils (or adenoids), and the lingual tonsils. Tonsils are made up of lymphoid tissue and play a role in the body's defense against infections.
