9. Cartilaginous Joint
• Cartilaginous joint , where joint forming articular
surface are united by means of either hyaline
cartilage or fibrocartilage.
Two type,
1. Primary cartilaginous joint(Synchondroses )
2. Secondary cartilaginous joint(Symphyses)

19. • Plane joint articular surfaces are more or less flat
(plane).
e.g. Acromio-clavicular joint, zygopophyseal joint, inter-
tarsal joint, Inter-carpal joint

20. • Pivot joint Articular surfaces comprise a central bony
pivot (peg) surrounded by an osteoligamentous ring
e.g. proximal radio-ulnar joint, atlanto-axial joint

21. • Hinge joint- articular surfaces are pulley-shaped
e.g. elbow joint, knee joint, inter-phalangeal joint, ankle
joint

22. • Condyloid joint round oval surface fitting into an
socket type articular surface
e.g Tempro-mandibular joint, knee joint

23. • Ellipsoid joint articular surfaces include an elliptical convex
surface fitting into an elliptical concave surface
e.g. Wrist joint, metacarpo-phalangeal joint, atlanto-occipital
joint
