Medical Definition of Junctura cartilaginea

1. A joint in which the apposed bony surfaces are united by cartilage; they are divided into synchondroses and symphyses; in synchondroses, the cartilage connecting the apposed surfaces is, as a rule, ultimately converted to bone, as between epiphyses and diaphyses of long bones; exceptions are the sternal synchondroses and the cartilaginous union of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum; in symphyses the bones are connected by a flat disk of fibrocartilage which remains unossified throughout life; e.g., the intervertebral disk and the symphysis pubis. Synonym: articulatio cartilaginis, cartilaginous articulation, junctura cartilaginea, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000)
