Cartiliginous Joints. Joints that unite bones with cartilage are called cartilaginous joints. There are two types of cartilaginous joints: (1) A synchrondosis is an immovable cartilaginous joint. One example is the joint between the first pair of ribs and the sternum.(2) A symphysis consists of a compressable fibrocartilaginous pad that connects two bones.ynovial Joints. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of an articular capsule between the two joined bones. Bone surfaces at synovial joints are protected by a coating of articular cartilage. Synovial joints are often supported and reinforced by surrounding ligaments, which limit movement to prevent injury.
