Roofing Bones of the Skull Form Via ________ Ossification

Question

Roofing bones of the skull form via ________ ossification.
A) synovial
B) intramembranous
C) intrachondral
D) symphyseal
E) endochondral

Accepted Answer

The roofing bones of the skull, which include the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones, form via intramembranous ossification. This process involves the direct ossification of mesenchyme without the intermediate step of cartilage formation. The other options are not involved in skull bone formation.
