<p>The tonsils are part of the MALT and more specifically the GALT. They are located in the [[Nasopharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|nasopharynx]] and [[Oral Cavity - Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|oropharynx]] and form a ring of lymphoid tissue around the [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]] to protect the openings into the [[Alimentary - Anatomy & Physiology|alimentary]] and [[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology#Upper Respiratory Tract|respiratory]] systems.</p>
