The tonsils are lobulated.
The surface of the mucous membrane of the tonsils is covered with a complex layer of flat epithelium, and the epithelium plunges into the lamina propria to form a crypt with 10 to 30 branches. In fact, the substance of the tonsils is divided into several lobes by these epithelial cells, but the interval between each lobe is very dense, the naked eye can not be distinguished in the routine state, so the ordinary patients generally believe that the tonsils belong to a whole structure.
Some people’s tonsils in the growth process part of the lobe proliferation faster, part of the lobe proliferation slower, so from the naked eye observation found that the tonsils like separated 2-3 leaves of the state, this tonsil morphology change does not have much clinical guidance significance.
Therefore, if you find that the tonsils have lobes, you need to further combine with the corresponding clinical symptoms, auxiliary examination to comprehensively analyze and judge.
