Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The palatine tonsils are vascularized lymphoidal tissues that play an immunologic role, especially in childhood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Reflexes of the mouth, pharynx, and larynx help to protect the lower respiratory tract during swallowing. These protective functions can be severely compromised during anesthesia or un-consciousness. Loss or compromise of these important reflexes can result in aspiration of bacteria colonized saliva or food and can cause pulmonary infection and asphyxiation in severe cases.
