At what age do you get your Adam's apple?

Answer 1

"Cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of a laryngeal prominence is called chondrolaryngoplasty (thyroid chondroplasty).[1] This surgery may change the patient's voice and cause permanent damage, as well as leave a visible scar."

-Wikipedia

Answer 2

The Adam's apple typically becomes more prominent during puberty, which generally occurs between the ages of 9 and 14 in males. This enlargement of the laryngeal cartilage is more prominent in males due to the effects of testosterone on the voice box.

Answer 3

No, most women do not have an Adam's apple. However, some women were born in a male body, for example because of a drug taken by the mother during pregnancy, and have had corrective surgery. This is a form of transsexualism, and these women generally do have an Adam's apple.

Yes, women do have an Adam's apple. It is also known as the voice box or larynx. Everyone has one! It is during puberty, that the larynx in males, grows larger, making it stick out more. This is when the voice deepens. In girls, the voice doesn't deepen, so their larynx isn't noticeable.

Answer 4

Men are born with A"dam's Apples" which is just another name for the Larynx also called the "Voice Box." During puberty the voice box enlarges and this results in the sound of a boy's voice becoming deeper. This is often described as a boy's voice "breaking" as it changes from the higher pitched voice of a child to the deeper pitch of an adult male.

Answer 5

The Adam's apple is the enlarged thyroid cartilage in males. The thyroid cartilage is a ring of cartilage in the front of the neck that lends structural support to the larynx.

Women also have thyroid cartilage and it is present in both sexes from birth. However, as males enter puberty, testosterone causes the larynx and thyroid cartilage to widen. This increases the diameter of the area inside the larynx (which is where the vocal cords are). This results in men having lower voices then women.

Answer 6

You get it at birth, but it becomes more developed during puberty.

Answer 7

it starts to grow when you reach puberty. Thats why your voice starts to "crack". But it it singular; every man has just one Adam's apple.

Answer 8

The Adam's apple is formed of the larynx in the throat. It is more prominent in males as a result of growth during puberty.
