The '''Adam's apple''' is the protrusion in the [[neck]] formed by the angle of the [[thyroid cartilage]] surrounding the [[larynx]], typically visible in men, less frequently in women. The prominence of the Adam's apple increases in some men as a [[secondary male sex characteristic]] during [[puberty]].<ref>{{Citation |last1=Fitzpatrick |first1=Thomas H. |title=Anatomy, Head and Neck, Adam's Apple |date=2022 |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK535354/ |work=StatPearls |access-date=2023-03-19 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=30570975 |last2=Siccardi |first2=Marco A.}}</ref>
