The function of copper ions in copper releasing IUD’s is
1. | they suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity of sperms |
2. | they inhibit gametogenesis |
3. | they make uterus unsuitable for implantation |
4. | they inhibit ovulation |
Consider the two surgical procedures given below and choose the correct statement:
1. | A is a more difficult procedure than B. |
2. | The reversibility of A is good but that of B is very poor. |

The drug RU-486 is taken after sexual intercourse. It blocks implantation, and in this sense it prevents pregnancy_.
1. | like spermicidal foam |
2. | in a manner similar to tubal ligation |

4. | by blocking progesterone receptors in the uterus, thus preventing progesterone from maintaining pregnancy |

Progesterone alone or in combination with estrogen can also be used as contraceptives by females as injections or implants under their skin. When used in this manner, they:
1. | do not affect the release of the ovum |
2. | induce a foreign body reaction leading to rejection of the implanted blastocyst |
3. | can cause increased risk of ectopic pregnancy |
4. | have a much longer effective period |
Birth control pills contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone. How might these hormones prevent pregnancy?
1. | They cause the corpus luteum to degenerate. |
2. | They keep the pituitary from secreting FSH and LH, so ovulation does not occur. |
3. | They cause the lining of the uterus to be sloughed off. |
4. | They trigger premature ovulation, before an egg is mature. |
