The thyroid cartilage... is the largest of the laryngeal cartilages. It is formed by a right and a left lamina, which are widely separated posteriorly, but converge and join anteriorly. The most superior point of the site of fusion between the two broad flat laminae projects forward as the laryngeal prominence(Adam's apple). The angle between the two laminae is more acute in men(90°) than in women(120°) so the laryngeal prominence is more apparent in men than women.
