- anterior intraoccipital s. [TA] cartilaginous union in the newborn between the lateral and the basilar portions of the occipital bone. SYN: s. intraoccipitalis anterior [TA], anterior intraoccipital joint.
- s. arycorniculata SYN: arycorniculate s..
- arycorniculate s. the junction of the corniculate cartilage (of Santorini) with the arytenoid. SYN: s. arycorniculata.
- cranial synchondroses [TA] the cartilaginous joints of the skull; these include sphenoethmoidal s., sphenooccipital s., sphenopetrosal s., petrooccipital s., anterior intraoccipital and posterior intraoccipital s.. SYN: synchondroses cranii [TA].
- synchondroses cranii [TA] SYN: cranial synchondroses.
- s. epiphyseos SYN: epiphysial line.
- synchondroses intersternebrales persisting cartilages uniting the bony elements of the sternum, as in some domestic animals such as the dog. SYN: intersternebral joints.

- s. sphenoethmoidalis [TA] SYN: sphenoethmoidal s..
- sphenooccipital s. [TA] cartilaginous union between the body of the sphenoid and the basilar portion of the occipital; it fuses by the twentieth year and thus has particular importance in forensic anthropology; incorrectly called sphenooccipital suture. SYN: s. spheno- occipitalis [TA], sphenooccipital joint, sphenooccipital suture.

- sternal synchondroses [TA] the cartilaginous junctions between the body of the sternum and the manubrium (manubriosternal joint or symphysis), and between the body of the sternum and the xiphoid process (xiphisternal joint or symphysis); in domestic animals, there may be several, e.g., the manubriosternal, intersternebral, and the xiphisternal joints. SYN: synchondroses sternales [TA], sternal joints.
- synchondroses sternales [TA] SYN: sternal synchondroses.
