Answer:

The adam´s apple

Step-by-step explanation:

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. ... If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you're right.

Answer: Another name for the larynx is the “voice box” or glottis.

Explanation: The larynx is the passageway for air between the pharynx above and the trachea below. It extends from the fourth to the sixth vertebral levels. The larynx is often divided into three sections: sublarynx, larynx, and supralarynx.
