________ are cartilaginous joints.
1 These joints are temporary in nature because after a certain age the cartilaginous plate is replaced by the bone. 2  Examples of this type of joints are joint between the epiphyses and diaphysis of a growing long bone, the costochondral joint and the first chondrosternal joint. A synchondrosis (“joined by cartilage”) is a cartilaginous joint where bones are joined together by hyaline cartilage, or where bone is united to hyaline cartilage. A synchondrosis may be temporary or permanent. A temporary synchondrosis is the epiphyseal plate (growth plate) of a growing long bone. Joint between epiphysis and diaphysis with intervening epiphyseal plate of cartilage. 1  Secondary cartilaginous joints: (symphysis): These are also known as fibro-cartilaginous joints. 2  There articular surface is covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage and the bones are united by fibro-cartilage. Cartilaginous joints: In this type of joints there is a piece of cartilage between the bones which hold the bones together and makes a joint. Cartilaginous joints are further divided into the following subtypes; 1  Primary cartilaginous joints: (synchondrosis): In this subtype the bones are united by a plate of hyaline cartilage so that the joint is immovable and strong. Chapter Review. There are two types of cartilaginous joints. A synchondrosis is formed when the adjacent bones are united by hyaline cartilage. A temporary synchondrosis is formed by the epiphyseal plate of a growing long bone, which is lost when the epiphyseal plate ossifies as the bone reaches maturity. Terms ending in the suffix-sis are singular and refer to just one joint, while-ses is the suffix for pluralization. An articulate facet is generally seen as a small joint, especially used when speaking of the joints of the ribs. 1 Secondary cartilaginous joints: (symphysis): These are also known as fibro-cartilaginous joints. 2  There articular surface is covered by a thin layer of hyaline cartilage and the bones are united by fibro-cartilage. 3  These joints are permanent and persist throughout the life of an individual. 1 synovial joint – not directly joined – the bones have a synovial cavity and are united by the dense irregular connective tissue that forms the articular capsule that is normally associated with accessory ligaments. A synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint where the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage. Also classified as a synchondrosis are places where bone is united to a cartilage structure, such as between the anterior end of a rib and the costal cartilage of the thoracic cage. As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. These types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones that are joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage ([link]).
