*'''Synchondroses''': eg. joints between epiphyses and diaphyses of juvenile long bones
, disappear on maturity

**Permanent synchondroses: the joint between the skull and '''hyoid'''

*'''Symphysis''': articulating bones are divided by a succession of tissues, with cartilage covering the bones or the tissue between

**Eg. mandibular, pelvic, vertebral

==Synovial Joints==
+
*Articulating joints are separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity, which is bounded by a synovial membrane
+
*Often the synovial membrane is reinforced by a fibrous capsule and ligaments restricting joint movement
+
*Cartilage covers the articular surfaces

**Usually, this is [[#Bones and Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology|Hyaline]]
