Now, I'd like to share a legend with you
related to the system
it's Adam’s Apple
The Adam’s apple
or laryngeal prominence,
is the lump
formed by the thyroid
cartilage surrounding the larynx.
It is usually a
feature of adult males
because its size in males
tends to increase considerably
during puberty.
Adam’s apple has two functions
the first one
it's to protect the walls
and the frontal part
of the larynx
and vocal cords
the second one
it's to deepen the voice
maybe you are wondering
why it is called
an Adam's Apple?
The origin of Adam's apple
goes back to the biblical story
of Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden.
In the Book of Genesis of Bible
an evil serpent
tempted Adam
and Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge
of good and evil in
the Garden of Eden
which they had been told
not to do by God
As the tale goes
God made a piece of apple
get stuck
in Adam's throat
as a reminder of his sin.

you can go to
Webster's Dictionary
and the Holy Bible.
