What is the purpose of an Adams Apple?!


Question: Does it do anything or is it just there?


Answers: Does it do anything or is it just there?

no purpose, rather it's there because of the anatomical arrangement of the cricoid, hyoid, and thyroid cartilaginous rings. women do not have quite the same pronounced configuration thus their cricoid doesnt stick out like most men. the voice is determined by the thickness, tone, and vibratory qualities of the "vocal cords", which all people have.

it makes a voice deeper

its there to drive u crazy and gross out their gf lol idk y

i had thats same question

The "Adams Apple" (or prominentia laryngea) appears in males during puberty as their voices begin to deepen. The primary function is simply to protect the delicate voicebox from injuries.

its just sitting there

it deepens the voice in males and also protects the vice box / vocal cords

Good question!
I'm pretty sure it makes their voice deeper
