Membranous bone. To remember which bones are membranous vs. cartilaginous, think of it this way: cartilage has no time to grow in the place of what will become membranous bones, though it does for cartilaginous. This means that membranous bone develops before cartilaginous bone. I don't know how true this is ontogenetically, but it works for me.

As membranous bone is the type of bone which develops first, it follows that it would be the type which provides the most important protection: cranial, vertebral, facial (excluding the mandible, I believe), and if I remember correctly, the ribs, sternum, and clavian bones are all membranous bones. Limb bones are all cartilaginous.

n.

A bone that forms directly in membranous connective tissue, as some cranial bones, instead of developing from cartilage.

The vertebrae are classified as "irregular bones." This is in contrast to long bones, sesamoid bones, short bones, and flat bones.
