Vasectomy and tubectomy are surgical methods of contraception in males and females respectively. In these methods, the accessory ducts in males and females are tied and cut due to which the transport of gametes is blocked.
Vasectomy: (A) is tied and cut.
Tubectomy: (B) is tied and cut.
Identify A and B from the options given below.
(A) is vas deferens and (B) is fallopian tube.
Vasectomy is a minor surgery performed in males in which a small incision is made on the scrotum and the vas deferens is tied and cut. Due to this the sperms are prevented from reaching the female reproductive tract during coitus.
Tubectomy or tubal ligation is performed in females in which the fallopian tubes are tied and cut. As the fallopian tubes are blocked it prevents conception.
Vasectomy and tubectomy are considered as permanent methods of contraception.
