A cartilaginous joint consists of bone connected by cartilage. A good example are ones connecting some of your ribs to the sternum. It is slightly moveable but doesn't have the range of movement like your knee joint. The knee joint is a synovial joint.

A cartilaginous joint is formed when the bones are connected by cartilage with the lack of a joint cavity. These joints are slightly movable. Examples include the spine and intervertebral discs.

Cartilaginous joints are ones that are connected only by cartilage, and not ligaments or tendons. An example of a cartilaginous joint would be the discs of the spinal cord.
