Type of connective tissue holding bones together. Joint space, capsule, and accessory ligaments: synovial joint. Bones are held together by brous connective tissue. Thin layer of dense connective tissue unites bones of the skull. More brous connective tissue than in suture. Examples: distal tibio bular joint, interosseous membrane between tibia and bula, and interosseous membrane between radius and ulna. The brous joints between the teeth and the body sockets of the alveolar processes of mandible and maxilla. Ligament (periodontal) hold the tooth in the socket. Hyaline cartilage between articulating bones, e. g. junction of rst rib and manubrium of sternum. Usually occur in the midline of the body, e. g. intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis. Hyaline cartilage (growth centres) between epiphysis and diaphysis. When bones stop growing in length, bone replaces the hyaline cartilage. Presence of a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. Articular cartilage: covers the articular surfaces of bones but does not bind them together.
