An Adam's Apple is not an organ or gland, as many assume; it's merely a protuberance (bump) on the throat caused by the largest cartilage of the larynx. It is not, as often stated, unique to men. However, when boys go through puberty their voice box shifts (and their voice gets deeper), which tends to cause the throat cartilage to become angled outward. This causes the "adam's apple" lump in the throat. Many men have this feature, and on some it's very pronounced. However, in some women the cartilage is noticeable, while some men have no noticeable bump. It is a myth that you can tell for certain if someone had a sex chance from male to female by looking for an Adam's apple.
