A Cartilaginous joint is a joint in the skeletal system which is connected tightly by cartilage, an example of this would be the spinal column. There are two other types of joint also, a fibrouse joint that dosent allow any movement what so ever such as the cranium (scull) and they synovial joint which is the most common joint in the skeletal sytem.
You have primary cartilaginous joint between the growing bones. They are called as primary cartilaginous joint. You have secondary cartilaginous joint in mid-line of your body. For example pubic symphysis, a joint between manubrium sterni and sternum as well as discs between your vertebrae.
The joint type that includes the joints between the vertebral bodies is a cartilaginous joint called an intervertebral disc joint. The joint type that includes the joints forming the pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint called a symphysis joint.
Cartilaginous joint
A cartilaginous joint is characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions, allowing for slight movement. This type of joint provides flexibility and support without as much mobility as a synovial joint. An example of a cartilaginous joint is the pubic symphysis in the pelvis.
The joint at the pubic symphysis is known as a cartilaginous joint. It is a slightly movable joint that is made up of fibrocartilage, providing stability and support for the pelvis.

Cartilaginous Joints
A synovial joint moves the most freely.
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the manubrium and the sternum. Cartilaginous joints also form the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
The fibrous joints, such as sutures in the skull, lack a synovial cavity. These joints are connected by dense connective tissue and do not allow for significant movement.
The costochondral joint is a primary cartilaginous joint. It is where the rib connects to the cartilage that then attaches to the sternum. This type of joint allows for slight movement during breathing.
