What is synchondoris?

Answer 1

Synchondrosis is a type of cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. This type of joint allows for limited movement and is typically found in areas such as the growth plates of long bones and the junction between the first rib and the sternum. Over time, some synchondroses may ossify and become synostoses, leading to a complete fusion of the bones involved.
