Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Synchondrosis is an example of which type of joint is it answer choice. A fibrous answer choice B synovial answer choice C cartilaginous or answer choice. D none of the above. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer. Choices is the correct type of joint that describes synchondrosis. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about synchondrosis, which we can recall that in synchondrosis, the bones are connected by hyaline cartilage which that hyaline cartilage results in the joint allowing little to no movement. Therefore, since in synchondrosis, there is that hyaline cartilage, synchondrosis is a type of cartilaginous joint which is answer choice C. The correct answer. And an example of synchondrosis is the epiphyseal plate in growing long bones where the bones are connected by that layer of hyaline cartilage which later ossifies as the bone reaches maturity. So answer choice C is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
