Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The roof of the skull and the clavicle are both formed by intramembranous ossification, which is the process of bone formation directly from mesenchymal cells within a membranous layer. The carpal bones are formed by endochondral ossification, which involves the transformation of cartilage into bone, while the femur is also formed by endochondral ossification but from a different type of cartilage template.
