The Tonsils Revisited: Review of the Anatomical Localization and Histological Characteristics of the Tonsils of Domestic and Laboratory Animals
Figure 8
Anatomical localization and histological characteristics of the rabbit tonsils. (a) Rostral view on the paired palatine tonsil (arrows). An excised palatine tonsil is illustrated at higher magnification in the insert. (b) Histological section through a palatine tonsil. The tonsillar fossa is indicated by the asterisk. (c) Histological cross-section through the rabbit nose showing the locations of NALT. Organized lymphoid tissue is present at the bottom of the ventral nasal meatus (boxed areas). Diffuse lymphoid tissue is located along the mucosal linings of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity (arrows).
