Explanation

The thyroid cartilage is the largest cartilage of the larynx and forms the prominent projection on the front of the neck known as Adam's apple. It is more visible in males due to the influence of testosterone during puberty. A widow's peak is a V-shaped hairline pattern, while Newton's apple is unrelated to anatomy.
