A Cartilaginous joint is a joint in the skeletal system which is connected tightly by cartilage, an example of this would be the spinal column. There are two other types of joint also, a fibrouse joint that dosent allow any movement what so ever such as the cranium (scull) and they synovial joint which is the most common joint in the skeletal sytem.

∙ 11y agoA cartilaginous joint consists of bone connected by cartilage. A good example are ones connecting some of your ribs to the sternum. It is slightly moveable but doesn't have the range of movement like your knee joint. The knee joint is a synovial joint.

What joint lacks a synovial cavity?
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints do not have cavities
Where is the cartilaginous joint located?
You have primary cartilaginous joint between the growing bones. They are called as primary cartilaginous joint. You have secondary cartilaginous joint in mid-line of your body. For example pubic symphysis, a joint between manubrium sterni and sternum as well as discs between your vertebrae.

Cartilaginous joint

Is a cartilaginous joint movable?
they are slightly movable
Are epiphyseal plates cartilaginous joint?
yes
Name of joint at the pubic symphysis?
The joint between the pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint and also a gliding joint.
The joint found in your spinal column?
Cartilaginous joints
What joint has amphiarthrotic and synarthrotic examples?
Cartilaginous Joints
What joint moves the most synovial cartilaginous fibrous or immovable joint?
A synovial joint moves the most freely.
What joint is characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions?
Amphiarthrosis
What do cartilaginous joints do?
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the manubrium and the sternum. Cartilaginous joints also form the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
