A symphysis and a syndesmoses are both types of non-synovial joints in the body.

A Syndesmoses is a dense fibrous tissue joint, which is completely immobile (like the joints in the skull before they become sutures, the inferior tibiofibular joint, or the tooth filling in a tooth socket.)

A symphyses is a joint where the opposing surfaces of bone are covered in hyaline cartilage but instead of having synovial fluid between then there is a plate of fibrocartilage. (this is like the pubic symphyses, intervertebral discs, joint between sternum an dmanubrium)

You can compare these two non-synovial joints with a third, which is a synchondrosis, made completely of hyaline cartilage, like the cartilage that connects the 1st rib with the sternum.

What is the classification of the intervertebral discs and the symphysis pubis?

Intervertebral discs are classified as fibrocartilaginous joints, specifically as symphysis joints due to the presence of a fibrocartilaginous disc between the vertebral bodies. The symphysis pubis is classified as a secondary cartilaginous joint, also known as a symphysis joint, due to the presence of fibrocartilage between the pubic bones.

Is a syndesmosis bone held together by interosseous ligament?

Yes, a syndesmosis joint is held together by the interosseous ligament, which connects the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. This ligament is crucial for maintaining stability and proper alignment between these two bones. Injuries to the syndesmosis joint, such as a high ankle sprain, can result in damage to this ligament.


Is a syndesmosis joint diarthrotic?

No, a syndesmosis joint is classified as an amphiarthrotic joint. It allows for limited motion and is held together by strong ligaments that restrict movement between bones, such as the tibia and fibula in the ankle.


What are the two types cartiliginous joints?

Types of cartiliginous joints: Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis joint has bands of hyaline cartilage which unite bones and an epiphyseal plate (temporary). For example between manubrium and first rib (synarthrotic). Symphysis joint has a pad of fibrocartilage between bones. For example the pubis symphysis and the joint between bodies of vertebrae. (amphiarthrotic).
