Question

Why laryngeal prominence (Adam's apple)is called as Adam's apple?

Answer 1

ANS - In males, the front of the thyroid cartilage that surrounds the larynx tends to protrude outward, creating a feature known as the “Adam's apple.” ... As the tale goes, Adam ate a piece of forbidden fruit from the apple tree, and a part of it got stuck in his throat. This is where the name “Adam's apple” comes from.
