The thyroid cartilage is a substantial shield-shaped structure that is situated near the top of the larynx in the front of the neck (voice box). Due to variations in the size and shape of the larynx, it is frequently referred to as the Adam's apple and is more noticeable in men than in women.

The laryngeal prominence, also referred to as the Adam's apple, is the point where the two halves or plates of hyaline cartilage that make up the thyroid cartilage meet. The superior thyroid notch, which is modest and visible in certain persons, is located in front of the thyroid cartilage.

The larynx and vocal cords are shielded by the thyroid cartilage, which is also crucial for speech production. The muscles of the larynx are in charge of regulating the tension and positioning of the vocal cords during speech and singing. The vocal cords are linked to the rear of the thyroid cartilage. By providing places of attachment for the muscles involved in swallowing, the thyroid cartilage also contributes to this process.
