An Adam's apple, more formally known as a laryngeal prominence, is a lump in the throat, usually more noticeable in men than in women.

It is also the name of a fragrant houseplant from southeast Asia, or a species of banana.

It is actually the thyroid cartilage, which makes up a part of the larynx, that protrudes from the front of the neck forming the familiar "Adam's apple.' Very prominent in males.
