What are the two mechanisms by which the bones of the body are formed and which bones are formed by each mechanism?
The first mechanism is the Intramembranous Ossification which occurs on or within fibrous connective tissue membranes. The bones formed in this mechanism are the skull, cranial bones, clavicle, and flat bones. The second one is the Endochondral Ossification or the replacement of cartilage by bone which leads to the formation of the cartilage model. All the long bones belonging to the axial and appendicular skeleton are the bones formed for this mechanism.
