As articular cartilage, hyaline is found covering the articular surfaces of bones in synovial joints.artilage is what we call a connective tissue. It can be very flexible and soft as in the ear lobe, or flexible and tough as in a ligament or tendon. But what really interests us today, is the hyaline cartilage that lines the bones in our joints.
