DOI: 10.61775/2413-3302.v1i39.01

SUMMARY
The tonsils are important organs in the humane immune system, playing a crucial role in protecting against infections. Their cytology can change in various diseases and pathological processes. In clinical cytology, special attention is given to the cellular composition of the tonsils, their immune responses, and their protective functions againist infections. This article discusses the normal cytological characteristic of the tonsils, changes during inflammatory processes, and modern diagnostic approaches.
Keywords: Tonsils, clinical cytology, cellular composition, immune response, cytological characteristics
