Outstanding in men and completely invisible in women, the protrusion of the larynx is called prominentia laryngea in Latin, that is, the Adam's apple or "Adam's apple". For physiological reasons, this part of the cartilage is more visible in the stronger sex than in girls.
Kadik is formed when two plates of the thyroid cartilage grow together. The vocal cords in men are much longer than in women, so the angle of their connection is sharper. The protrusion of the larynx is therefore more pronounced. Although there are differences in the size of the "Adam's apple" among young people. In some men, this part of the body protrudes far forward, resembling the keel of a ship, while in others, the fusion of cartilage occurs at an obtuse angle, so such an Adam's apple looks more delicate.
Another reason that explains the fact that the cartilaginous protrusion of the larynx in women is less noticeable is the presence of a fat layer. It is present in all girls, regardless of whether they are overweight or not.
Sometimes in some women there is a rather pronounced "Adam's apple", usually in these cases there are other secondary male sexual characteristics (excessive body hair, a rough voice, a male figure structure). This is due to hormonal imbalances in the body.
Kadik actively participates in the formation of the human voice, he is a kind of resonator. The fused cartilage protects the vocal cords, controls their tension. Since the shape of the "Adam's apple" is different for men and women, the pitch and timbre of the voice are also different.
The Bible also explains the appearance of a pronounced Adam's apple in men. It is enough to recall the story of the fall of Adam and Eve to understand where the unfortunate fruit in the throat of the first man came from. The woman turned out to be more receptive to everything new, but the representative of the stronger sex could not swallow his piece, and now the "Adam's apple" reminds people of their committing a sin.
Mammals, like humans, have Adam's apple. Due to the varied shape of this cartilaginous organ, animals make the most amazing and varied sounds. For example, elephants can generate infra- and bats can generate ultrasounds.
