This paper gives an overview of the anatomical localization and histological characteristics of the tonsils that are present in ten conventional domestic animal species, including the sheep, goat, ox, pig, horse, dog, cat, rabbit, rat, and pigeon. Anatomical macrographs and histological images of the tonsils are shown. Six tonsils can be present in domestic animals, that is, the lingual, palatine, paraepiglottic, pharyngeal, and tubal tonsils and the tonsil of the soft palate. Only in the sheep and goat, all six tonsils are present. Proper tonsils are absent in the rat, and pigeon. In the rabbit, only the palatine tonsils can be noticed, whereas the pig does not present palatine tonsils. The paraepiglottic tonsils lack in the ox, horse, and dog. In addition, the dog and cat are devoid of the tubal tonsil and the tonsil of the soft palate.
本文概述了十种传统家畜（包括绵羊、山羊、牛、猪、马、狗、猫、兔、大鼠和鸽子）扁桃体的解剖定位和组织学特征。文中展示了扁桃体的解剖宏观图像和组织学图像。家畜体内可能存在六种扁桃体，即舌扁桃体、腭扁桃体、会厌旁扁桃体、咽扁桃体、咽鼓管扁桃体和软腭扁桃体。只有绵羊和山羊体内存在所有六种扁桃体。大鼠和鸽子体内没有固有扁桃体。兔子体内只能看到腭扁桃体，而猪没有腭扁桃体。牛、马和狗没有会厌旁扁桃体。此外，狗和猫没有咽鼓管扁桃体和软腭扁桃体。
