14-September-2008 18:38:37 - Laryngeal prominence Redirected from Adam's apple Adam's apple redirects here. For other uses, see Adam's apple disambiguation. June 2008 Adam's apple An example of male laryngeal prominence. Front view of neck. Latin prominentia laryngea Precursor 4th and 6th branchial arch Dorlands/Elsevier p_36/12669875 The laryngeal prominence-commonly known as the Adam's apple-is a feature of the human neck. This lump, or protrusion, is formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx. Contents 1 Sex differences 2 Surgery 3 References 4 External links Sex differences The laryngeal prominence is usually more prominent in adult men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. Note that the growth of the larynx itself during puberty is responsible for the vocal instability in teenage boys. The laryngeal prominence is merely the protrusion one sees of the thyroid cartilage making up the body of the larynx. The laryngeal prominence is usually more prominent in adult males because the thyroid cartilage elongates during puberty, protruding out the front of the neck more noticeably. The result is that the two laminae thin cartilage of the thyroid cartilage that form the protrusion meet at an angle of 90° in males, and 120° in females, so there is less cartilage protruding out in females. A prominent laryngeal prominence is commonly considered a male secondary sex characteristic. Surgery Cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of a laryngeal prominence is called chondrolaryngoplasty thyroid chondroplasty.1 This surgery may change the patient's voice and cause permanent damage as well as leave a visible scar. This surgery can also be part of sex reassignment therapy for male-to-female transgender or transsexual people transwomen.2 References ^ Wolfort FG, Dejerine ES, Ramos DJ, Parry RG 1990.
