The joint that contains a broad flat disc of fibrocartilage is called the temporomandibular joint, commonly known as the TMJ. This joint is located in front of the ear where the skull and lower jaw meet, allowing for movement during activities such as chewing and speaking. The fibrocartilage disc within the TMJ helps cushion and stabilize the joint during these movements.
What else can I help you with?
Why is TMJ covered with fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage?
The articular surfaces of the TM joint ARE covered in hyaline cartliage. It's the disc that resides in between the mandibular condyle and temporal eminence that is made of fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage gives the disc a degree of resiliency and ability to adapt and remodel. -James P. Boyd, DDS http://www.DrJimBoyd.com
Are the pubic symphysis and annulus fibrosus made of the same type of tissue?
No, the pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint formed by fibrocartilage, while the annulus fibrosus is a part of the intervertebral disc made up of concentric layers of fibrocartilage.
Is the intervertebral disc made up of hyaline cartilage?
No, the intervertebral disc is not made up of hyaline cartilage. The intervertebral disc is composed of fibrocartilage, which is a specialized type of cartilage that is tough and able to withstand compressive forces in the spine.
Where in the body would you find white fibrocartilage?
White fibrocartilage can be found in intervertebral discs, menisci of the knee, and the pubic symphysis.
What are the name of the fibrocartilage pads between adjacent bodies of the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs

What type of cartilage makes up the intervertebral disks?
The intervertebral discs are made up of fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage is a type of cartilage that contains both collagen fibers and cartilage cells (chondrocytes), providing the disc with strength and flexibility to absorb shock between the vertebrae in the spine.
Is the intervertebral disc made up of hyaline cartilage?
No, the intervertebral disc is not made up of hyaline cartilage. The intervertebral disc is composed of fibrocartilage, which is a specialized type of cartilage that is tough and able to withstand compressive forces in the spine.
Where in the body would you find white fibrocartilage?
White fibrocartilage can be found in intervertebral discs, menisci of the knee, and the pubic symphysis.
What causes desiccation disc?
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.
What are the name of the fibrocartilage pads between adjacent bodies of the vertebrae?
Intervertebral discs
What does broad based disc bulge mean in MRI?
is broad base central superimposed disc bad
What is a broad based disc protrusion 2.5 mm in the AP dimension with an annula tear?
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
Invertebral disc are made of what tissue?
You have outer annulus fibrosus. Which is made of fibrous tissue. Inside the annulus fibrosus, you have jelly like nucleus pulposus.
What kind of tissue makes up the intervertebral disc's?
The material is fibrocartilage, more specifically white fibrocartilage.The individual vertebrae are separated by pads of fibrocartilage (interverterbral discs) that absorb shocks while providing the spine flexibilty.
What does “ broad-based disc bulging slightly asymmetric to the left with associated posterior lateral spurs?
This is called a broad based disc herniation
