Detailed Solution

The joints between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column, connected by intervertebral discs, are an example of symphysis joints, which are a type of cartilaginous joint. They lack synovial cavity and synovial fluid. They permit limited movements.

Symphysis joints are characterized by fibrocartilaginous discs that provide cushioning and allow for limited movement between the articulating bones. In the case of the vertebral column, the intervertebral discs are composed of fibrocartilage, making them sturdy and capable of withstanding compressive forces.
