The thyroid cartilage is the specific cartilage in the larynx that gives the appearance of an Adam's apple, particularly in males due to its larger size and prominence compared to females.
The thyrohyoid membrane connects the thyroid cartilage to the hyoid bone in the neck, indicating its anatomical location between the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone.
Another name for the voice box is the larynx.
In vertebrate anatomy, the throat (Latin gula) is the anterior part of the neck, in front of the vertebral column. It consists of the pharynx and larynx. An important feature of the throat is the epiglottis, a flap which separates the esophagus.
The type of cartilage that is attached to the sternum is hyaline cartilage. This specific type of cartilage provides cushioning and structural support to the sternum, helping to allow for rib cage movement during breathing.

The "Adam's apple" is another name for the thyroid cartilage, a piece of hard tissue that covers part of the windpipe.The scientific name is Prominentia Laryngae. It basically means prominence in the larynx or laryngeal prominence. The larynx is bigger in males because testosterone causes growth of cartilage.

The scientific name for the vocal chords is the larynx. ------------------------------------------------------ This is incorrect. The vocal CORDS (or folds, or even better, the scientific name: the thyroarytenoid muscle) are IN the larynx. The larynx is made of cartilage, one bone (the hyoid bone) and contain several muscles, including the vocal folds/cords/thyroartenoid muscle. There are parts of the vocal folds called the vocalis muscle as well. NEVER CHORDS. A chord is a series of pitches played together, as in "play chords on the guitar" but a cord is a string or rope-like structure. As for the larynx, feel your adam's apple (yes, women have one, too - it's just smaller in most women). THAT'S the part of the larynx that's called the thyroid cartilage, and is the "hallmark" of the larynx.
