Question

Describe any two types of cartilaginous joint giving examples.

Answer 1

As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but somewhat 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.

here are two types of cartilaginous joints. A synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint where the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage, or where a bone is united to hyaline cartilage. The second type of cartilaginous joint is a symphysis, where the bones are joined by fibrocartilage.
