  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

     

    Contraceptive oral pills help in birth control by:

     

    Solution

     

     

    • Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) can be taken to change the hormonal balance of the body so that the ovum is not released from the ovary.
    • The pills may contain combinations of the hormones estrogen and progestin or progestin alone.
    • Combinations of estrogen and progestin prevent pregnancy by inhibiting the release of the hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland.
    • LH and FSH play key roles in the development of the egg and preparation of the lining of the uterus for implantation of the embryo.
    • Progestin also makes the uterine mucus that surrounds the egg more difficult for sperm to penetrate.

    Since the ovum does not come into the Fallopian tube, it is not fertilized.

    Hence, the correct option is A.
    NCERT Reference:  topic “POPULATION EXPLOSION AND BIRTH CONTROL ”of chapter Reproductive Health of NCERT.

     

     

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

     

    Which period of menstrual cycle is called  the risky period of conception?

     

    Solution

     

     

    • 10th to 17th day of menstrual cycle is called the risky period of conception as during which ovulation takes place.
    • If sexual intercourse occurs during this period, there is a very high chance of fertilisation that may leads to pregnancy.

    Hence, the correct option is D.
    NCERT Reference:  topic “POPULATION EXPLOSION AND BIRTH CONTROL ”of chapter  Reproductive Health  of NCERT.

     

     

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

     

    What is not the correct step in preventing transmission of STD?

     

    Solution

     

     

    • STD can be transmitted via sexual contact or contact of body fluids like blood.
    • Sharing needles or blades can lead to the sharing of blood, and thus the infectious agent if anyone using it is infected.
    • Hence, shaving blades must not be shared with friends and should be thrown away after each use.

    Hence, the correct option is D.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

     

    Identify the intra-uterine contraceptive device from the figure given below

     

    Solution

     

     

    • Copper T is a small, T-shaped intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD).
    • The horizontal bar of which fits into the wide top of the uterus and the vertical bar extends down the uterus. It makes the uterus and fallopian tubes produce fluid that kills sperm. This fluid contains white blood cells, copper ions, enzymes, and prostaglandins.
    • Copper ions, released by the IUD, is a spermicide and it kills sperm before it can fertilize the egg.

    • Another effective and popular method is the use of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). These devices are inserted by doctors or expert nurses in the uterus through vagina. These Intra Uterine Devices are presently available as the non-medicated IUDs (e.g., Lippes loop), copper-releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and the hormone releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20).
    • Oral administration of small doses of either progestogens or progestogen –estrogen combinations is another contraceptive method used by the females. They are used in the form of tablets and hence are popularly called the pills.
    • Surgical methods, also called sterilisation , are generally advised for the male/female partner as a terminal method to prevent any more pregnancies. Surgical intervention blocks gamete transport and thereby prevent conception.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.25

     

    Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) is considered safe up to how many weeks of pregnancy?

     

    Solution

     

     

    • When egg and sperm fuse, pregnancy occurs. The normal period of pregnancy is 40 weeks  which is divided into 3 trimesters.
    • The 3 trimesters are:
      (i) First Trimester:  First 3 months
      (ii) Second Trimester:  4th to 6th  months
      (iii) Third Trimester:  6th to 9th  months
    • MTP is considered safe up to the first trimester so, 6, 8, 12 weeks would be okay, but 18 weeks comes under the second  trimester and MTP at this stage would be a huge risk for mother.

    Thus, the  MTP  Act allows for the  termination of pregnancy up  to 12  weeks of pregnancy .

    Hence, the correct option is C.
