The following are major steps in the process of intramembranous ossification: 1. Clusters of osteoblasts form osteoid that becomes mineralized.
2) Osteoblasts differentiate within mesenchymal connective tissue.
3) Spicules of bone radiate out from the ossification centers.
4) Mesenchymal cells aggregate.
The correct order for these events is:
A)4,1,2,3
B)2,1,3,4
C)4,2,1,3
D)2,3,1,4

Intramembranous ossification begins with the aggregation of mesenchymal cells (4), which then differentiate into osteoblasts (2). These osteoblasts form osteoid that becomes mineralized (1), and finally, spicules of bone radiate out from the ossification centers (3).
