Anterior pituitary
Bone that is mostly solid with a few spaces
Compact bone
Bone that is made up of a lacy network of bony rods called trabeculae
Cancellous
Bony rods that make up cancellous bone and are oriented to increase weight-bearing capacity of long bones
Trabeculae

Axial skeleton
The soft spot in the skull of a newborn and infant where the sutures of the skull have not yet grown together
