ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of primary cartilaginous joints in humans are the “growth plates” between ossification centers in long bones. These joints here allow for only a little movement, such as in the spine or ribs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sternocostal joints are formed between the medial end of the costal cartilages of ribs one to seven. The joint between the first rib and the sternum is cartilaginous, but all the others are synovial.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the examples of cartilaginous joints include epiphyseal plate in long bones, sternocostal joint (synchondroses), and intervertebral and pubic symphyses.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of cartilaginous joints: synchondroses and symphyses.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cartilaginous joints are where the adjacent bones are joined by cartilage. At a synchondrosis, the bones are united by hyaline cartilage. The epiphyseal plate of growing long bones and the first sternocostal joint that unites the first rib to the sternum are examples of synchondroses.
