Are Adam's Apples the thyroid gland, or some sort of muscle or what??..

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. Though more common in men, some women have Adam's Apples as well.

Your Adam's Apple is your Larynx, or voice box. It's made of muscle.

honestly though, it doesnt mean that eve has 2 dads... 1st of all there is only one man meaning there can't be 2 dads...if there is then there should be 2 men...but eve only was made by adam's ribs not by adam producing eve. the way god puts it is different. eve is not made of adam's feet to be stepped on nor was made from adam's head to be higher than adam. but eve was made below the arm for adam to hold and protect eve.

The adam's apple is the larynx, which is mostly cartilage.
Specifically, the part that sticks out is the protrusion of the thyroid cartilage (NOT the thyroid gland...entirely different!).

Apples that decided they did not want to grow on trees anymore.

the larynx is made from a frame work of cartilage so it doesnt collapse...suspended by muscle and ligaments.

apple pie has been made of apples a lot more rotten than usual - as...scandal to scandals of the previous century, the historian Henry Adams, two of whose ancestors had been U.S. presidents.
