Hyaline cartilage is a glass-like cartilage that is commonly found in the ribs, nose, larynx, and trachea. The cartilage of Santorini, on the other hand, is made up of elastic cartilage and is located in the larynx. Thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoid cartilages are all made up of hyaline cartilage. The presence or absence of hyaline cartilage in these cartilages plays an important role in their structure and function.
