Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intramembranous ossification is the process by which bone develops directly from sheets of mesenchymal (undifferentiated) connective tissue, rather than going through a cartilage intermediate stage. The mesenchyme differentiates into osteoblasts, which lay down bone matrix between thin sheets of fibrous connective tissue. Eventually, these bony plates fuse together to form mature bone.
