Cartilaginous joints are those that are connected by cartilage, and they can either be synchondroses or symphyses. Between the ribs and the sternum is an example of a synchondrosis joint, between the bodies of the vertebrae is an example of a symphysis joint, and between the two pelvic bones is an example of both synchondrosis and symphysis joints. However, between each tooth and its socket is not a cartilaginous joint, as it is a fibrous joint held together by the periodontal ligament.
