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.
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
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.
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.
White fibrocartilage can be found in intervertebral discs, menisci of the knee, and the pubic symphysis.

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.

The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.

2.5mm broad based disc protusion
You have outer annulus fibrosus. Which is made of fibrous tissue. Inside the annulus fibrosus, you have jelly like nucleus pulposus.
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.
This is called a broad based disc herniation
