Study Notes
Secondary Cartilaginous Joints
- These joints have a disc made of fibro-cartilage which connects the bones.
- Offer a limited range of movement.
- Examples include the symphysis pubis, which connects the two pelvic bones, and intervertebral joints between vertebrae in the spine.
No Movement Joints
- These are not technically joints but are areas of cartilage that are present during growth.
- An example is the epiphyseal plate of cartilage between the epiphysis and diaphysis of a long bone.
Example diagram
- The diagram illustrates the human spine and pelvis.
- The spinal cord runs through the spine and spinal nerves branch off it.
- Intervertebral discs are present between vertebrae.
- The symphysis pubis joint in the pelvis is shown.
- The epiphyseal line on a long bone is labelled.
