The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhopal has achieved another significant milestone in the field of medical research as the doctors have identified a special gland located in the nasopharyngeal region. During the research, the institute's doctors have found a special gland located in the nasopharyngeal region, which is situated behind the nose and in the upper part of the throat of human beings.
"Not only this, AIIMS doctors have also clearly demonstrated the duct emerging from this gland, about which no prior information was available. This discovery marks a new and important step in understanding the structure of the human body," the institute said in a statement on Friday.
