Mode of formation:
Germ layer origin:

Neural crest
Chondrocranium and splanchnocranium both have endochondral modes of formation, but the reason splanchnocranium is derived from neural crest is…
Splanchnocranium has a cartilaginous precursor but it gets COVERED then replaced with dermal bone
Chondrocranium is homologous to…
Why?
- the rest of the axial skeleton
- it is derived from mesoderm, just like the axial skeleton (skeleton = somites = mesoderm)
