**A bar or plate of hyaline cartilage unites the bones

All synchondroses are synarthrotic

Examples include:
Epiphyseal plates of children
Joint between the costal cartilage of the first rib and the sternum
Symphyses
Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating surface of the bone and is fused to an intervening pad of fibrocartilage

Amphiarthrotic joints designed for strength and flexibility

Examples include intervertebral joints and the pubic symphysis of the pelvis
