An Adam’s apple, also known as a laryngeal prominence, is a protrusion on the anterior neck, formed by the thyroid cartilage that encloses the vocal cords. It is commonly associated with men due to its larger size and prominence. However, women can also have an Adam’s apple, albeit typically less pronounced.
The size and visibility of the Adam’s apple are influenced by several factors, including genetics, hormone levels, and body composition. In women, higher levels of testosterone and lower levels of estrogen can contribute to a more prominent Adam’s apple.
