cartilaginous joint

Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).

Where the connecting medium is hyaline cartilage, a cartilaginous joint is termed a synchondrosis.

They are hyaline cartilaginous joints (i.e. synchondroses).

Cartilaginous joints also forms the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.

Most amphiarthrosis joints are cartilaginous joints (e.g., intervertebral discs).

Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint.

The pubic symphysis or symphysis pubis is the midline cartilaginous joint (secondary cartilaginous) uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones.

Structural and functional differences distinguish synovial joints from cartilaginous joints (synchondroses and symphyses) and fibrous joints (sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses).

The sternal angle or 'angle of Louis', from the Latin angulus Ludovici is the anterior angle formed by the junction of the manubrium and the body of the sternum (the manubriosternal junction) in the form of a secondary cartilaginous joint (symphysis).
