it produces the flat bones of the skull and most of the clavicle (collarbone)
Intramembranous ossification is the process by which osteoblasts lay down bone within a connective tissue membrane, leading to the formation of flat bones such as the skull and ribs.
Ossification means bone growth or formation. I will be disscussing breifly normal or physiological ossification because there is pathological ossification.There are two types of ossification in the human body: endochondral and intramembranous. Most of the bones in the human skeleton , especially the long and short bones, develop via endochondrial ossification, but some including the clavicle and most of the bones of the skull( flat bones) are formed by the intramembranous type. Intramembranous ossification , the source of most of the flat bones, is so called because it takes place within condensations of mesenchymal tissue and not by replacement of pre-existing piece of hyaline cartilage as the case in endochondral ossification. The frontal and parietal bones of the skull, as well as parts of the temporal and occipital bones and the mandible and maxilla, are formed by intra membranous ossification. This process also contributes to the growth of short bones and the thickening (not the lengthening) of long bones.
The mandible develops through intramembranous ossification, where bone tissue forms directly within membrane-like layers. This process involves the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts, which then deposit bone matrix to form the mandible.
Cranial bones and other flat bones develop via intramembranous ossification, a process where bone tissue is formed directly from mesenchymal cells without a cartilage intermediate. Ossification centers form in the mesenchyme, and osteoblasts within these centers deposit bone matrix, which eventually becomes mineralized to form bone. This process results in the flat structure of the cranial and other flat bones.
The bones of the skull and clavicle develop through a process called intramembranous ossification. This is where bone tissue forms directly within embryonic or fibrous tissue, without a cartilage intermediate. Specialized cells called osteoblasts are involved in this process, laying down new bone tissue.

Intramembranous and Endochondral Ossification
Intramembranous ossification
There are two ways bones are formed, intramembranous ossification, and endochondral ossification. Intramembranous ossification is how the flat bones are formed, while the long bones are formed with endochondral ossification.
Intramembranous ossification begins when osteoblasts differentiate within a mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue.

yes
Intramembranous bones are always flat bones. Parts of the skull, mandible and the maxilla are all considered to be intramembranous bones.
Intramembranous ossification is a process of bone formation that occurs directly within a connective tissue membrane, primarily responsible for the development of flat bones such as the skull and clavicles. During this process, mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts, which then secrete bone matrix and facilitate the mineralization of the tissue. This method of ossification allows for the rapid formation of bone and does not involve a cartilage intermediate, unlike endochondral ossification. Ultimately, intramembranous ossification plays a crucial role in the early stages of skeletal development and repair.
