-produced |by |the |anterior |pituitary

breast |and |genital |atrophy, |reduction |in |bone |mass, |and |increased |rate |of |athero-
|sclerosis

7. What |is |a |mammogram: |X-ray |of |breast |used |to |visualize |the |internal |structures
-bc |some |tumors |metastasize |late, |early |detection |with |mammography |allows |for |earlier
|treatment |and |the |prevention |of |metastasis
8. A |friend |who |has |recently |scheduled |her |second |mammogram |with |a |differ- |ent
