The slight projection at the front of the throat formed by the largest cartilage of the larynx, usually more prominent in men than in women. [Ultimately translation of French pomme d'Adam, pomegranate, Adam's apple (sense influenced by Arabic rummāna, pomegranate, Adam's apple) : pomme, apple + de, of + Adam, Adam.]
The tissue or structure located superior to the hyoid bone is the hyothyroid membrane.
No, you cannot swallow your Adam's apple. The Adam's apple, also known as the laryngeal prominence, is a protrusion of the thyroid cartilage of the larynx. It is a part of the voice box and is not a separate structure that can be swallowed. Swallowing involves the movement of the epiglottis to cover the entrance to the trachea, preventing food or liquid from entering the airway.
The AdamÕs apple protects the larynx in the throat from being crushed. It can also promote a deep voice in males.
A large ring of cartilage typically refers to the tracheal cartilage rings that provide support and structure to the trachea (windpipe) in the respiratory system. These rings help to keep the trachea open and prevent it from collapsing during breathing.
A sore Adam's apple could be a sign of inflammation, infection, or injury to the area. It may be due to issues such as throat irritation, acid reflux, viral infections like cold or flu, or even thyroid disorders. If the soreness persists or is severe, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
