Preferred Label : interchondral joint;
Uberon definition : Interchondral Articulations (articulations of the cartilages of the ribs with each
other). The contiguous borders of the sixth, seventh, and eighth, and sometimes those
of the ninth and tenth, costal cartilages articulate with each other by small, smooth,
oblong facets. Each articulation is enclosed in a thin articular capsule, lined by
synovial membrane and strengthened laterally and medially by ligamentous fibers which
pass from one cartilage to the other. Sometimes the fifth costal cartilages, more
rarely the ninth and tenth, articulate by their lower borders with the adjoining cartilages
by small oval facets; more frequently the connection is by a few ligamentous fibers.;
Uberon synonym : articulatio interchondralis; interchondral joints; interchondral joints set; synovial interchondral joint; interchondral articulation;
Uberon related term : non-synovial interchondral joint; interchondral joint of 9th and 10th ribs; interchondral syndesmosis;
