Many terms used for referring to tonsillar structures are applied in immunological research. However, in many cases, the use of these terms is not in compliance with official veterinary anatomical nomenclature. This is partly attributable to ambiguous descriptions present in conventional anatomical textbooks. This study gives an overview of pertaining controversial terms and promotes the official anatomical terminology applicable to the tonsils, to enhance the unequivocal transfer of knowledge generated during immunological research.
许多用于指代扁桃体结构的术语被应用于免疫学研究中。然而，在许多情况下，这些术语的使用并不符合官方兽医解剖学命名法。这部分归因于传统解剖学教科书中存在的模糊描述。本研究概述了相关的争议性术语，并推广适用于扁桃体的官方解剖学术语，以加强免疫学研究中所产生知识的明确传递。
