Vedclass · Answer

(C) In humans,the ribs are attached to the sternum via hyaline cartilage. This type of joint,where the articulating bones are joined by hyaline cartilage,is known as a cartilaginous joint. Specifically,these are synchondroses,which allow for very limited movement,providing flexibility to the thoracic cage during respiration. Therefore,the joint between the ribs and the sternum is a cartilaginous joint.
