Types of cartiliginous joints: Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis joint has bands of hyaline cartilage which unite bones and an epiphyseal plate (temporary). For example between manubrium and first rib (synarthrotic). Symphysis joint has a pad of fibrocartilage between bones. For example the pubis symphysis and the joint between bodies of vertebrae. (amphiarthrotic).
These are types of functions of the joints. The amphiathrotic joint is slightly moveable, the joints between the vertebra for example. The synathrotic joint is immovable, the sutures of the skull for example.
A type of joint that is immovable is called a synarthrotic joint. An example would be the sutures between the cranial bones.
Synarthrotic.
Synarthrotic-These joints are "fiberous" and don't move a lot.Skeletal sutureAmphiarthrotic-This joint only permits slight movement. RibsDiarthrotic-Freely moveing joint.
It depends on which type of joint it is associated with. Th three classifications of joints are; synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. They are all separated by hyaline cartilage, from less than paper thick to almost an inch (25mm) in the knees. So the thickness has a natural purpose of protection, having a loss of the proper thickness leads to the condition known as osteoarthritis.
There are three different categories of joints. They are: synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic.The synarthrotic joints are mostly immovable and contain cartilage between the bones. An example of these are the suture joints between the cranial bones. Amphiarthrotic joints are a bit more movable and are made of reticular fibers such as those found in the intervertebral discs. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial joints, or freely moving joints, and comprise the largest group of joints in the human body. These joints are responsible for the overall movement of the body, like the arms and the legs.

Fibrous joint; bone is connected by ligaments; slightly flexible (amphiarthrotic)
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: There are three types of joints: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous joints (seen in the skull's sutures) are always synarthrotic (immovable). Cartilaginous joints are both synarthrotic (seen in between the sternum and the first ribs) and amphiarthrotic (slightly movable). The last type of joint, synovial, comes in a variety of styles (saddle, ball-in-socket, ect.) and is always diarthrotic (moveable)
A fibrous joint is an immovable joint. An example would be the bones in the skull.
No, a syndesmosis joint is classified as an amphiarthrotic joint. It allows for limited motion and is held together by strong ligaments that restrict movement between bones, such as the tibia and fibula in the ankle.
