The tonsils are two pads of lymphatic tissue located on each side of the back of the throat. The adenoids are a pad of lymphatic tissue high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth and look like tiny clusters of grapes. Adenoids are also called pharyngeal tonsils, but they are separate from the tonsils in the throat. The adenoids cannot be seen by looking into the mouth. Lymphatic tissue is found throughout the body and is important in the bodyâs defense against infection.
