Question
Chapter 22, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The tonsils present in the faces of the oropharynx and the position of the lingual tonsils.
Introduction:
The oropharynx is the central portion of the pharynx. The epiglottis is a flap posterior to the surface of the tongue. The tonsils are the site for the elimination of the germs and bacteria that enter along with the air inhaled. The foreign bodies are eliminated with the help of the antibodies produced by the immune cells.
