Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis (or primary cartilaginous joint) is a type of cartilaginous joint where hyaline cartilage completely joins together two bones.[1] Synchondroses are different than symphyses (secondary cartilaginous joints) which are formed of fibrocartilage. Synchondroses are immovable joints and are thus referred to as synarthroses.

gollark: I mean, I'm a moderately okay programmer and sysadmin, but nobody pays me for it or anything.
gollark: 400Gbps Ethernet over fibre optic stuff is available now. Hilariously expensive of course.
gollark: It would be faster, probably, to use an internal NVMe disk or something as swap.
