Anatomy and Physiology of Tonsils: Understanding the Body's Defense Mechanism

This presentation discusses the anatomy and physiology of tonsils and their role in the body's defense mechanism. It also explores whether a person can live without tonsils and why knowledge of tonsils is relevant to future professions. The presentation includes references for further reading.

Introduction
 The tonsil is work as body defence in which it a part of body immune system. In
addition, the location which is analyse is associated with the throat and palate.
 Therefore, the major function of the tonsil is to prevent the germ entering into
the body through the route of mouth or the nose. The tonsil also consists of lot
of white blood cell which may be responsible in order to prevent the germ entry
and bacteriostatic property.
 In this presentation, the major of discussion is based on the tonsil where the in-
depth evaluation has been taken place, the presentation show the information of
anatomy and physiology of tonsil and their need in body.

Anatomy and physiology of Tonsils (body defences)
 Tonsil are usually lymphoid tissue accumulation which is
situated near the entry of digestive and respiratory tract and
they usually play key role in the immune system.
 Therefore, they play vital role in the body as defence that act
as a front line defence forming the immunological response in
order to inhale or to intake some kind of pathogen of external
foreign material.

Can I live without a Tonsils (body defences) Explain
why/why not?
 The tonsil may create complication when they are
persisting for the longer period in the body. In addition,
they usually focus on the providing of adequate function of
immune to the body that help to prevent the entry of germ
and pathogen.
 A people is usually lived without the tonsil. Sometime
tonsil may show the aspect of issue of infection which is
also called as tonsillitis.

Explain, using at least one example why knowledge of Tonsils
(body defences) is relevant to your future profession
 The knowledge of the tonsil is important to know because it is
also a part of body which show their support with the other
function while showing their mechanism.
 The tonsil usually plays immune mechanism that help to
support the body while making fight with the pathogen as a
body defence, so the study is helpful in order to gather the
knowledge of anatomical view and their mechanism to create
barrier for pathogen in enter the body through mouth and nose.

Conclusion
 As per the above discussion, the presentation provides the
detail information regarding the essential part of body which
show their mechanism in order to prevent the germ and
bacteria to enter into the body.
 In addition, they show their mechanism in order to support the
body function and develop protective barrier to reduce the
complication which may arise due to pathogen.
