Question

Which one is not correct about oral contraceptives?

• A. Oral contraceptive are purely hormonal preparations
• B. It acts on hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries
• C. It inhibits the production of gametes
• D. It inhibits the motility of sperms

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

It inhibits the motility of sperms

Oral contraceptives are hormonal preparations containing hormones which act on the hypothalamus, pituitary and the ovaries to regulate the secretion and release of the other hormones. These contraceptives inhibit the secretion of FSH which is involved in the production of gametes. These oral pills are not involved in inhibiting the motility of the sperms.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
