Question

question 32
the flat bones of the skull develop from:
a compact bone
b fibrous connective tissue
c fibrocartilage
d areolar tissue
e hyaline cartilage

Explanation:

Flat bones of the skull develop through intramembranous ossification. In this process, fibrous connective tissue (mesenchyme) is the precursor. Compact bone is a type of bone tissue, not a precursor. Fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs etc. Areolar tissue is loose connective tissue with different functions. Hyaline cartilage is the precursor in endochondral ossification (e.g., long bones), not for flat bones of the skull.

Answer:

B. fibrous connective tissue
