thyroid cartilage definition and meaning

What is "thyroid cartilage"?

The thyroid cartilage, located in the neck region, is a large, shield-shaped structure that plays a vital role in protecting the underlying structures of the voice box (larynx). It is most notable for its prominence in males, creating the characteristic protrusion known as the Adam's apple. In addition to its structural support, the thyroid cartilage assists in the production of sound and helps regulate the airflow during speech and swallowing.
