Question

The larynx is commonly known as:

• A. Adam’s apple
• B. Voice box
• C. Epiglottis
• D. Thyroid cartilage

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Adam’s apple

• The larynx, located at the top of the windpipe (trachea), is commonly referred to as the Adam’s apple, especially in males where it is more prominent due to a larger larynx.

  • The larynx houses the vocal cords, which are essential for producing sound.

  • During puberty, the larynx grows larger in males, causing the Adam's apple to become more visible and the voice to deepen.
