Lymphoid organs include: adenoids (two glands located at the back of the nasal passage) appendix (a small tube that is connected to the large intestine) blood vessels (the arteries, veins, and capillaries through which blood flows) bone marrow (the soft, fatty tissue found in bone cavities) lymph nodes (small organs shaped like beans, which are located throughout the body and connect via the lymphatic vessels) lymphatic vessels (a network of channels throughout the body that carries lymphocytes to the lymphoid organs and bloodstream) Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue in the small intestine) spleen (a fist-sized organ located in the abdominal cavity) thymus (two lobes that join in front of the trachea behind the breast bone) tonsils (two oval masses in the back of the throat) Lymphoid Fig. 14.3 Organs • Tonsils: 3 sets Lymphoid Organs • Thymus: atrophies with age • Spleen: can live without this Figure 20.8 Other Lymphoid Organs • Include: – Tonsils – Thymus – Spleen – Peyer’s Patches – Appendix – Bone Marrow-Stem cells – All contain reticular CT and lymphocytes, but none of them actively filter lymph – These other lymphoid organs contain efferent but no afferent lymphatic vessels. largest • So we see the tonsils and adenoids are lymphoid organs • They have a PROTECTIVE FUNCTION TonsilsTonsils • Small masses of lymphoid tissue around the pharynx • Trap and remove bacteria and other foreign materials • Tonsillitis is caused by congestion with bacteria Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Tonsils • The tonsils are accumulations of lymphoid tissue located in a protective ring - called Waldeyer's ring - under mucous membranes in the mouth and back of the throat surrounding the openings of the digestive and respiratory tracts. • Help protect against bacteria that may invade tissues in the area around the openings between the oral and nasal cavities. • The tonsils serve as the first line of defense from the exterior and as such are subject to chronic infection.- tonsillitis. • Depending on their localisation we distinguish between palatine, pharyngeal (adenoids) or lingual tonsils. Tonsils • Form a ring of lymphoid tissue around the entrance to the pharynx • 3 main sets: – Palatine • Located on either side of the posterior oral cavity • Largest and infected most often – Lingual • Lie at the base of the tongue – Pharyngeal • Found in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx • Called adenoids when infected • Contain Tonsils multiple lymphoid follicles overlain by epithelial crypts • Crypts trap bacteria which work their way into the lymphoid tissue where they are destroyed – Why is this a risky method of fighting pathogens? – What advantage does this method confer?

Lingual tonsils are situated in the lamina propria at near the base of the tongue. They are covered by a stratified squamous epithelium. • The tonsils do not have afferent lymph vessels but efferent lymph vessels are present. • Exposure to antigens relies on the contact of antigens with cells of the immune system across the epithelium which covers the tonsils. • The epithelium of the palatine and lingual tonsils forms deep crypts into the lymphoid tissue, and the resulting increase of the surface area is one way to facilitate the contact of antigens with the immune cells. • In addition, the epithelium may specialise in places to form an open meshwork of cells with an incomplete basal lamina (a reticulated epithelium) which allows the infiltration of the epithelium by lymphocytes and macrophages. • Tonsillar lymphoid nodules consist mainly of B- lymphocytes. Other areas are occupied by T-lymphocytes, activated B-lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. The tonsils share some histological features with lymph nodes: • cells in the tonsils are supported by a fine network of reticular fibres and • high-endothelial (postcapillary) venules function in the "homing" of circulating lymphocytes - this is actually a shared feature of all lymphoid tissues and organs. • The palatine tonsils are surrounded by a thick hemicapsule of connective tissue, which delimits them from the pharyngeal muscle and facilitates their removal in tonsillitis..

  • Diseases of the Tonsil
    DISEASES OF THE TONSIL Dr. Amer salih aljibori Acute Tonsillitis: acute inflammatory condition of the faucial tonsil which may involve the mucosa, crypts,follicles and /or tonsillor parenchyma. Causatve agents; -Viral:Initially starts with viral infection then followed by secondary bacterial infection.Common viruses are influenza,parainfluenza.adenovirus and rhinovirus. -Bacterial:Streptococcus hemolyticus,Hemophilus influenza,pneumococcus,M.catarrahalis. Pathology and pathogenesis: Usually it starts in the childhood when there is low immune status.Depending on the progress of the disease,this can be classified further into the following types. •Catarrhal tonsillitis:It occurs due to viral infection of the upper respiratory tract involving the mucosa of the tonsil •Cryptic tonsillitis: Following viral infection ,secondary bacterial infection supervenes and gets entrapped within the crypts leading to localized form of infection •Acute follicular tonsillitis. It is sever form of tonsillitis caused by virulent organisms like streptococcus hemolyticus and Hemophilus. It causes spread of inflammation from tonsillar crypts to the surrounding tosillar follicles. Acute parenchymal tonsillitis: The secondary bacterial infection will invade to the crypts and it is rapidly spreads into the tonsillar parenchyma.. Cryptic tonsillitis 1- Symptoms -Fever -Generalized malaise and bodyache. -Odynophagia. -Dry cough. -Sorethroat. 2- Signs -Congested and oedematous tonsils -Tonsils may be diffusely swollen in parenchymatous tonsillitis. -Crypts filled with pus in follicular tonsillitis. -Membrane cover the tonsil and termed as membranous tonsillitis. -Tender enlarged jugulodigastric lymph nodes. -Signs of upper respiratory tract infection and adenoiditis. Investigations. -Throat swab for culture and sensitivity. -Blood smear to rule out hemopoeitic disorders like leukemia,agranulocytosis. -Paul-Bunnel test may be required if membrane seen to rulr out infectious mononucleosis.

  • The Surgical Plane for Lingual Tonsillectomy: an Anatomic Study Eugene L
    Son et al. Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (2016) 45:22 DOI 10.1186/s40463-016-0137-3 ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The surgical plane for lingual tonsillectomy: an anatomic study Eugene L. Son1*, Michael P. Underbrink1, Suimin Qiu2 and Vicente A. Resto1 Abstract Background: The presence of a plane between the lingual tonsils and the underlying soft tissue has not been confirmed. The objective of this study is to ascertain the presence and the characteristics about this plane for surgical use. Methods: Five cadaver heads were obtained for dissection of the lingual tonsils. Six permanent sections of previous tongue base biopsies were reviewed. Robot assisted lingual tonsillectomy was performed using the dissection technique from the cadaver dissection. Results: In each of the 5 cadavers, an avascular plane was revealed deep to the lingual tonsils. Microscopic review of the tongue base biopsies revealed a clear demarcation between the lingual tonsils and the underlying minor salivary glands and muscle tissue. This area was relatively avascular. Using the technique described above, a lingual tonsillectomy using TORS was performed with similar findings from the cadaver dissections. Conclusions: A surgical plane for lingual tonsillectomy exists and may prove to have a role with lingual tonsillectomy with TORS.

  • Head and Neck
    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.

  • Oral Cavity Histology Histology > Digestive System > Digestive System
    Oral Cavity Histology Histology > Digestive System > Digestive System Oral Cavity LINGUAL PAPILLAE OF THE TONGUE Lingual papillae cover 2/3rds of its anterior surface; lingual tonsils cover its posterior surface. There are three types of lingual papillae: - Filiform, fungiform, and circumvallate; a 4th type, called foliate papillae, are rudimentary in humans. - Surface comprises stratified squamous epithelia - Core comprises lamina propria (connective tissue and vasculature) - Skeletal muscle lies deep to submucosa; skeletal muscle fibers run in multiple directions, allowing the tongue to move freely. - Taste buds lie within furrows or clefts between papillae; each taste bud comprises precursor, immature, and mature taste receptor cells and opens to the furrow via a taste pore. Distinguishing Features: Filiform papillae • Most numerous papillae • Their role is to provide a rough surface that aids in chewing via their keratinized, stratified squamous epithelia, which forms characteristic spikes. • They do not have taste buds. Fungiform papillae • "Fungi" refers to its rounded, mushroom-like surface, which is covered by stratified squamous epithelium. Circumvallate papillae • Are also rounded, but much larger and more bulbous. • On either side of the circumvallate papillae are wide clefts, aka, furrows or trenches; though not visible in our sample, serous Ebner's glands open into these spaces. DENTITION Comprise layers of calcified tissues surrounding a cavity that houses neurovascular structures. Key Features Regions 1 / 3 • The crown, which lies above the gums • The neck, the constricted area • The root, which lies within the alveoli (aka, sockets) of the jaw bones. • Pulp cavity lies in the center of the tooth, and extends into the root as the root canal.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.
