 * __WHAT IS AN ADAM'S APPLE AND WHY DO ONLY BOYS HAVE THEM?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ We have all seen the big guys in high school with that big round lump in their neck that moves when they drink or speak. This is the Adams apple. You have also noticed that most girls don't have the Adams apple, but some do which is fine. This is because it is a part of your voice box. The apple forms when your voice box grows and starts to push on your neck skin. The last thing is how the Adams apple got it's name. This is after Adam at a forbidden fruit from the garden of Eden, and it got stuck in his throat. sources [|http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/adams_apple.html#cat20068] by Phillip.A 8.3
