The Adam's apple, or laryngeal prominence, is a noticeable protrusion in the front of the neck, formed by the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx (voice box). It is typically more prominent in males due to the influence of testosterone during puberty, which causes the growth of the larynx and the cartilage surrounding it. While both men and women have an Adam's apple, it is generally more pronounced in men. Its primary function is to protect the vocal cords and play a role in voice production.
