    Why do men have (is it called the adam's apple)and why can you see it in some and you can't in others?

    Question #26102. Asked by student.

    sequoianoir

    When kids hit puberty, their bodies and minds go through tons of changes. One change that every kid can count on is lots of body parts growing and changing shape. Almost every part gets in on the growing action, including the larynx (say: lahr-inks).

    Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and it's in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice, whether you're talking, laughing, whispering, singing, or screaming! You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations under your fingers, you've found it!

    When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what's called an Adam's Apple! Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. That's why boys have Adam's Apples and girls don't.
