Human Reproduction and Contraception

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) causes maturation of a cohort of early-stage ovarian follicles; one of these will ultimately become the dominant or graafian follicle.

This is the correct option. Saheli, an oral contraceptive, was developed by scientists at Central Drug Research Institute in Lucknow, India.

This is the correct option as this is not a desired characteristic of an ideal contraceptive. An ideal contraceptive should be reversible with no or least side-effects.

This is the correct option as all of the above methods are presently available.

This is the correct option. Lippes loop is a non-medicated IUD.

This disease is caused by enlargement of prostate in the male reproductive system.

It stimulates the uterus to prepare for the implantation and nourishment of the foetus, likely to arrive after ovulation.

It is the correct answer.

It is the process in which immature ovarian follicles degenerate and are subsequently, reabsorbed during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.

After ovulation, graffian follicle regresses into corpus luteum.

It matures during menstrual cycle.

In this phase corpus luteum secretes progesterone which prepares the endometrium for the implantation of an embryo.

This tubular female sex organ serves many functions. It is the place where menstrual discharges pass out of the body. It also stretches to function as a birth canal when it is time for the fetus to be expelled from the uterus. It is the channel through which the sperm in the semen travel up toward the fallopian tube to fertilize an egg.

Menarche is the first menstrual cycle, or first menstrual bleeding, in female human beings. From both social and medical perspectives it is often considered the central event of female puberty, as it signals the possibility of fertility.

After the ovum (egg) is released from the ovary, a small temporary gland called Corpus Luteum, forms in the ovary and begins to produce the hormone progesterone.
