Laryngeal Protrusion[/caption]The name comes from the Turkic word Kadyk - solid, strong, serving. The name "Adam's apple" is associated with the folk legend of how Adam tried to swallow an apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but it stuck in his throat . It is sometimes referred to as a symbol of sin. The laryngeal protrusion is formed by two plates of the thyroid cartilage, the angle between which is greater in women and children, less in men (which is why the muzzle of the larynx is more pronounced).
