What Is the Adam’s Apple, and Why Is It More Prominent in Males? - #14502
I recently noticed that some people have a very prominent Adam’s Apple, while others barely have one, and I want to understand what it is, why it develops, and whether it serves a specific function. Some people say that only men have Adam’s Apples, but I am unsure whether women also have them, just less noticeable. The Adam’s Apple is a cartilage structure surrounding the larynx, which grows larger during puberty due to testosterone levels, leading to a deeper voice in males. While it is more visible in men, women also have an Adam’s Apple, but it is usually smaller. Some people undergo cosmetic surgery to reduce or enhance its size, but I want to know whether its prominence has any effect on vocal strength or health. For those who have researched the Adam’s Apple, does its size affect voice pitch or any other bodily function? Would love insights into how the Adam’s Apple develops and whether its size has any medical significance.
