State the location and function of tonsil?

Dear student, The tonsils are located at the back of the throat. . The tonsils play a role in protecting the body against respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. The tonsils contain B cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infections. They also produce antibodies against polio, streptococcal pneumonia, influenza, and numerous other infections. Antibodies are proteins that help the body identify and attack harmful invaders. The tonsils also contain several types of T cells, which are white blood cells that destroy cells infected with viruses and help the body build immunity to infectious organisms.regards
