Humans do not have a bone in their throat; instead, the structure is supported by cartilage. The most notable cartilage in the throat is the thyroid cartilage, commonly known as the Adam's apple. Additionally, the hyoid bone, located in the neck, supports the tongue and is sometimes referred to as a "floating bone" because it is not directly connected to other bones.
