The part of a man’s throat referred to as Adam’s apple is (b) Thyroid cartilage. It’s a noticeable protrusion at the front of the neck, formed by the largest cartilage of the larynx, known as the thyroid cartilage. During puberty, the larynx enlarges in males, causing the thyroid cartilage to grow, resulting in the prominence known as the Adam’s apple. This structure serves to protect the vocal cords and aids in voice production. While both men and women have thyroid cartilage, it’s typically more prominent in men due to hormonal influences during puberty, hence the colloquial term “Adam’s apple.”
