An articulation formed by intervening cartilage; as, the pubic symphysis., The union or coalescence of bones; also, the place of union or coalescence; as, the symphysis of the lower jaw. Cf. Articulation.
The pubic symphysis
The perineum describes that part of the body.
All but two of the symphyses lie in the vertebral (spinal) column, and all but one contain fibrocartilage as a constituent tissue. The short-lived suture between the two halves of the mandible is called the symphysis menti. That is one and the other is between the pubic bones.
symphysis menti even though a mid line joint has no fibro cartilage hence it is considered to be a primary cartilagenous joint
pubic symphysis and the intervertebral joints
The pubic symphysis joint is a cartilaginous joint (gliding joint) that allows limited movement. It can give way slightly during childbirth. A person has another type of symphysis joint in the mandible. This joint is at the point of the chin.
Manubriosternal symphysis
The prefix of symphysis is sy- which means together.
the joint is a symphysis and is the region where the body of the sternum articulates with the xiphoid process
Symphysis Pubis/ Pubic Symphysis
Symphysis is a term that is used to refer to the fibrocartilaginous fusion between two bones.
An articulation formed by intervening cartilage; as, the pubic symphysis., The union or coalescence of bones; also, the place of union or coalescence; as, the symphysis of the lower jaw. Cf. Articulation.

Symphysis pubis, intervertebral discs, menisci, tmj, and annulus fibrous
The most common slightly movable joints are the joints between the vertebrae. Two more are found in pelvis: the sacroiliac and the symphysis pubis joints.
The coxal bones join anteriorly at the pubic symphysis.
