the upper portion of the pharynx, the nasopharynx, extends from the base of the skull to the upper surface of the soft palate. it includes the space between the internal nares and the soft palate and lies above the oral cavity. the adenoids, also known as the pharyngeal tonsils, are lymphoid tissue structures located in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx. waldeyer's tonsillar ring is an annular arrangement of lymphoid tissue in both the nasopharynx and oropharynx. the nasopharynx is lined by respiratory epithelium that is pseudostratified, columnar, and ciliated.

there are three types of situations in which malt is present- tonsils, appendix, small intestinal area









































malt constitute about 50% of the lymphoid tissue in human body.









































section::::categorization.









































the components of malt are sometimes subdivided into the following:









































bullet::::- galt (gut-associated lymphoid tissue. peyer's patches are a component of galt found in the lining of the small intestines.)









































bullet::::- balt (bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue)









































bullet::::- nalt (nasal-associated lymphoid tissue)









































bullet::::- calt (conjunctival-associated lymphoid tissue)









































bullet::::- lalt (larynx-associated lymphoid tissue)









































bullet::::- salt (skin-associated lymphoid tissue)









































bullet::::- valt (vulvo-vaginal-associated lymphoid tissue)









































it can be also distinguished by level of organization of the tissue:
mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue
