The human larynx rests in a frame of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscles. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the lump at the front of the neck, known as the laryngeal prominence or more commonly as the Adam's apple. The lump, or protrusion, is caused by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx.


Or so they say......so why don't women have them??

Ok, here's my question:
If we compare a neuron to a tree, the dendrite is the root and the ________ is the branch.
a)glial cell
b)cell body
c)axon
d)nucleus
I know that it is not the axon (the book said it's the trunk), and I don't think it is the glial cell because that isn't a part of the neuron, but I have been searching for over an hour and I cannot find the answer in the book.

If it is simply just a birthmark so to speak, then how does life really develop and gain intelligence?

And if it is actually cell development and growth tutor or set of "instructions", how is it that that acid can (which is just a chemical?), make such complex, intelligent life, organisms, cells, nuclei?
