Adam's apple definition and meaning

What is "Adam's apple"?

Adam's apple, also known as the laryngeal prominence, is a noticeable feature in the neck of some individuals, particularly males. It is formed by the thyroid cartilage, which protrudes outward and becomes more prominent during puberty. The Adam's apple is more visible in males due to hormonal influences and the growth of the larynx. It serves a role in protecting the vocal cords and assisting with voice production. While its size and prominence can vary among individuals, Adam's apple is generally associated with male physiology, although it can also be present in some females.
