1. thyroid cartilage

   The thyroid cartilage is the largest cartilage of the larynx, comprising of two laminae or plates that are fused at the front, giving it a prominent, shield-like shape. It is located in the neck and is one prominent feature of the Adam's apple, particularly noticeable in males. This cartilage plays a key role in the functioning of the vocal cords and supports the opening and closing of the larynx when speaking and breathing.

1. Thyroid cartilage

   The thyroid cartilage is the largest of the nine cartilages that make up the laryngeal skeleton, the cartilage structure in and around the trachea that contains the larynx. It is composed of two plate-like laminae that fuse on the anterior side of the cartilage to form a peak, called the laryngeal prominence. This prominence is often referred to as the "pomus Adami" or "Adam's apple". The laryngeal prominence is more prominent in adult male than female because of the difference in the size of the angle: 90° in male and 120° in female. The lip of the thyroid cartilage just superior to the laryngeal prominence is called the superior thyroid notch, while the notch inferior to the thyroid angle is called the inferior thyroid notch. Its posterior border is elongated both inferiorly and superiorly to form the superior horn of thyroid cartilage and inferior horn of thyroid cartilage.
