-
Which of the following approaches does not give the defined action of contraceptive?
Vasectomy blocks sperm transport, not sperm production.
Vasectomy is a sterilisation procedure in males in which a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied through a small incision on the scrotum. It blocks the transport of gametes but does not affect spermatogenesis.

Which of the following is a hormone releasing Intra Uterine Device (IUD)?LNG-20 and Progestasert are hormone-releasing IUDs.
Multiload 375 is a copper-releasing IUD; cervical caps and vaults are barrier methods.

Which one of the following is the most widely accepted method of contraception in India, as at present?Intra uterine devices are inserted by doctors or trained nurses into the uterus through the vagina.
They are non-medicated (Lippes loop), copper-releasing (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) or hormone-releasing (Progestasert, LNG-20).
They increase phagocytosis of sperms in the uterus; Cu ions suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity, and hormone-releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms.
NCERT states that IUDs are ideal contraceptives for females who want to delay pregnancy or space children, and that it is one of the most widely accepted methods of contraception in India.
Hence the most widely accepted method is IUDs.

Cu ions released from copper-releasing Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs)All IUDs increase the phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus.
In addition, the Cu ions released by copper-releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms.
Making the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms is the action of hormone-releasing IUDs (Progestasert, LNG-20).
Prevention of ovulation is the action of oral contraceptive pills.
Hence the specific effect of the Cu ions is to suppress sperm motility.

Given below are four methods (1-4) and their modes of action (a-d) in achieving contraception. Match each method with its correct mode of action.
Pick the matching item from Column II for each row.
Column I
- 1. The pill
- 2. Condom
- 3. Vasectomy
- 4. Copper-T
Column II
- a. Prevents sperms reaching cervix
- b. Prevents implantation
- c. Prevents ovulation
- d. Semen contains no sperms
Correct answer: 1 → c, 2 → a, 3 → d, 4 → b
The pill: oral contraceptive pills contain progestogens or progestogen-oestrogen combinations. They inhibit ovulation, so The pill - Prevents ovulation.
Condom: it is a barrier made of thin rubber or latex sheath that covers the penis (or the vagina and cervix in females), so that the ejaculated semen does not enter the female reproductive tract. So Condom - Prevents sperms reaching cervix.
Vasectomy: it is the surgical (sterilisation) method in males in which a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up. Sperms cannot pass into the ejaculate, so Vasectomy - Semen contains no sperms.
Copper-T: it is an intrauterine device. The Cu ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms, and the device makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation. So Copper-T - Prevents implantation.
Correct match: 1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b.
