Adenoids: Purely Useless
■■■■■
Similar to tonsils, many remember adenoids as being purely useless lymphatic tissue, only significant when they cause problems.
●
What People Remember
It's commonly remembered that adenoids were considered entirely useless lymphatic tissue with no significant role.
◉
What's Actually True
Adenoids are masses of lymphatic tissue at the back of the nasal cavity that help filter germs and produce antibodies, especially in children. They shrink with age but serve an immune function.
