	~~==Types~~ of ~~Cartilaginous Joints==~~		A '''cartilaginous joint''' is a type of [[joint]] where the bones are entirely joined by [[cartilage]], either [[hyaline cartilage]] or [[fibrocartilage]]. These joints allow more movement between bones than a [[fibrous joint]] but less than the highly mobile [[synovial joint]].

	~~There are two main types~~ of ~~cartilaginous joints: [[synchondroses]] and [[symphyses]].~~		== Types of Cartilaginous Joints ==

	~~===Synchondroses===~~		Cartilaginous joints are classified into two types:

	Synchondroses are a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are united by [[hyaline cartilage]]. An example of a synchondrosis joint is the [[sternocostal joint]] (the joint between the sternum and the first rib).		=== Synchondroses ===

	~~===Symphyses===~~		[[Synchondroses]] are cartilaginous joints where the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage. These joints are typically found in the growth plates of children and adolescents, such as the [[epiphyseal plate]]s in long bones. As the individual matures, these synchondroses ossify and become [[synostoses]].

	Symphyses are a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are covered with [[hyaline cartilage]] and the gap between the bones is filled with [[fibrocartilage]]. An example of a symphysis joint is the [[pubic symphysis]], which is located between the two pubic bones.		=== Symphyses ===

	~~==Function~~ of ~~Cartilaginous Joints==~~		[[Symphyses]] are cartilaginous joints where the bones are joined by fibrocartilage. These joints are found in areas requiring strength and flexibility, such as the [[pubic symphysis]] and the [[intervertebral disc]]s of the [[spinal column]].

	The main function of cartilaginous joints is to provide stability and allow for only limited movement. This is because the [[cartilage]] that connects the bones in these joints is not as flexible as the [[synovial fluid]] found in [[synovial joints]].		== Function ==

	~~==Clinical Significance==~~		Cartilaginous joints serve to connect bones while allowing limited movement. They provide stability and support, particularly in the axial skeleton. The fibrocartilage in symphyses acts as a shock absorber, distributing loads across the joint.

	Diseases and conditions that can affect cartilaginous joints include [[osteoarthritis]], [[rheumatoid arthritis]], and [[ankylosing spondylitis]]. These conditions can cause pain and limit movement in the affected joints.		== Clinical Significance ==

	==~~See Also~~==		Cartilaginous joints can be affected by various conditions, such as [[arthritis]], which can lead to pain and reduced mobility. Disorders of the intervertebral discs, such as [[herniated disc]]s, can also impact the function of these joints.

'''Cartilaginous Joint'''

A '''cartilaginous joint''' is a type of [[joint]] in the [[human body]] that is connected primarily by [[cartilage]]. Cartilage is a type of [[connective tissue]] that is less rigid than [[bone]] but more flexible. Cartilaginous joints allow for only a little movability.

==Types of Cartilaginous Joints==

There are two main types of cartilaginous joints: [[synchondroses]] and [[symphyses]].

===Synchondroses===

Synchondroses are a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are united by [[hyaline cartilage]]. An example of a synchondrosis joint is the [[sternocostal joint]] (the joint between the sternum and the first rib).

===Symphyses===

Symphyses are a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are covered with [[hyaline cartilage]] and the gap between the bones is filled with [[fibrocartilage]]. An example of a symphysis joint is the [[pubic symphysis]], which is located between the two pubic bones.

==Function of Cartilaginous Joints==

The main function of cartilaginous joints is to provide stability and allow for only limited movement. This is because the [[cartilage]] that connects the bones in these joints is not as flexible as the [[synovial fluid]] found in [[synovial joints]].

==Clinical Significance==

Diseases and conditions that can affect cartilaginous joints include [[osteoarthritis]], [[rheumatoid arthritis]], and [[ankylosing spondylitis]]. These conditions can cause pain and limit movement in the affected joints.
