Q

How’re the irregular bones of the skull formed?

A

Endocardial ossification

17
Q

How does membranous ossification happen?

A

From sheets of mesenchymal connective tissue

18
Q

How does endocardial ossification happen?

A

Replaces hyaline cartilage with bone

19
Q

What’s the viscerocranium?

A

Skeleton of the face

20
Q

How is the viscerocranium formed?

A

Partly from branchial arches, partly from sensory capsules
