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.
Symphyses occur at midline joints where two bones are joined by fibrocartilage, allowing for slight movement. Examples include the pubic symphysis in the pelvis and the intervertebral discs in the spine.
The pubic symphysis is made up of fibrocartilage tissue. Fibrocartilage is a tough and dense connective tissue that is found in areas of the body requiring both strength and flexibility, such as the intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis, which connects the two pubic 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.
The perineum describes that part of the body.

The prefix of symphysis is sy- which means together.
Examples of cartilaginous joints are the intervertebral discs in the spine and the pubic symphysis in the pelvis.

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.
The junction between the manubrium and the sternal body is known as the manubriosternal joint.

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.
