What is a Tonsil?

My SIL told us that her daughter, needs to undergo a minor surgery to remove her tonsil. I heard many children went thru that too. Until today, I still didn’t know how does tonsil look like but thanks to the WWW, information is at the tip of our fingers.

I did my Google search and selected the image search and I found the above. So I think the doctor will just make a small cut to remove the tonsil.

From Wikipedia:

The tonsils are areas of lymphoid tissue on either side of the throat. An infection of the tonsils is called tonsillitis. Most commonly, the term “tonsils” refers to the palatine tonsils that can be seen in the back of the throat. As with other organs of the lymphatic system, the tonsils act as part of the immune system to help protect against infection.
