MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -At the pubic symphysis, the pubic portions of the right and left hip bones of the pelvis are joined together by fibrocartilage pad. This fibrocartilage provides cushioning similar to the intervertebral disc, thus providing both shock absorption and stability to the pelvis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of your pelvic bones. The fibrocartilage disk is sandwiched between hyaline cartilage on your left pelvic bone and hyaline cartilage on your right pelvic bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Another type of the cartilaginous joint is the symphysis, which consists of a tough, fibrous cartilage. Unlike the synchondrosis, the symphysis doesn’t undergo ossification. Symphyses are stronger but less flexible than synchondroses, so they hold bones together tightly and only stretch a little bit.
