THYROID
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 46
(Gr. S-ugEa?, a shield, and ult?, form.) The thyroid or scutiform cartilage is placed perpendicular to the cricoid cartilage of the larynx, of which it forms the upper and anterior part. In men it is harder and more prominent than in women; it is sometimes called Adam's apple. The thyroid gland is situated upon the thyroid and cricoid cartilages of the trachea; its duct has not been seen, and its use is unknown. When enlarged it forms the bronchocele. [s. 1249]
