Hello Hyaline cartilage exists on the ventral ends of ribs; in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi; and on the articulating surfaces of bones. It gives those structures a definite but pliable form. Presence of collagen fibres makes such structures and joints strong but less elastic and movable only to a minor extent. Mainly joints are having hyaline cartilages.

Hyaline cartilage is present at the joint surfaces to prevent or reduce friction These fibers give elastic cartilage great flexibility so that it is able to withstand repeated bending. The chondrocytes lie between the fibres. It is found in the epiglottis (part of the larynx),the pinnae (the external ear flaps of many mammals).
