hyaline cartilage
synovial
Hyaline cartilage provides support and smooth surfaces for joint movement. It allows flexibility and reduces friction between bones in joints.
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
A fibrous joint is an immovable joint. An example would be the bones in the skull.
Hyaline Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage is found on the joint surfaces.

Articular cartilage covers the joint surfaces of long bones. It is a smooth, slippery tissue that helps reduce friction and allows for smooth joint movement.
Articular cartilage or hyaline cartilage.
synovial
The articular cartilage is the thin layer of white tissue covering the bone in the joint space. The articular cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.
The true hyaline cartilage is the knee's intra-articular cartilage found in the joint surface. It has collagen but does not possess nerves or blood vessels.
In symphysis joints, the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. The fibrocartilage acts as a shock absorber and provides stability to the joint while the hyaline cartilage allows for smooth movement between the bones.
The outer surface of the epiphysis is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage known as articular cartilage. This cartilage helps cushion the joint and allows for smooth movement of the bones in the joint.
