Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both symphysis and synchondrosis are types of cartilaginous joints. Symphysis joints are composed of fibrocartilage and allow for limited movement, such as in the pubic symphysis or between the vertebrae in the intervertebral discs. Synchondrosis joints are composed of hyaline cartilage and are temporary joints found in growing bones, such as the epiphyseal plates in long bones.
