Palate

Version 1

Abstract

Palatine tonsils exist as two types: pedunculated or buried. The pedunculated type is nearly spherical and attached by a small base to a shallow tonsillar sinus. The buried type is attached by a broad base to a deep sinus. If the buried type is abnormally enlarged the condition may be obscure by tonsillar folds.
