1) What are the two mechanisms by which the bones of the body are formed and which bones are formed by each mechanism?
Intramembranous and endochondral ossification are the two mechanisms that form the body's bones. Intramembranous ossification forms the flat bones of the skull, clavicle, and most of the cranial bones from the mesenchymal tissue. On the other hand, endochondral ossification forms all the long bones of the axial skeleton and the limbs through a cartilage intermediate.
