Tonsils: Purely Vestigial and Removed
■■■■■
Many recall tonsils being described as purely vestigial organs, routinely removed with little to no consequence, implying they have no real function.
●
What People Remember
People often remember tonsils being unequivocally presented as vestigial organs, making their common removal seem entirely inconsequential.
◉
What's Actually True
Tonsils are part of the immune system, producing antibodies and filtering pathogens, especially in childhood. While removal is common for chronic issues, they do have a function.
