1 (d)
Myths are the false beliefs. They found in every
religion. They can’t give any help to reproductive
health
2 (c)
Both (a) and (b).
Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs) for contraception
(i) There devices are inserted by the doctors into
the uterus through vagina.
(ii) There are three types of IUDs
Non-medicated IUDs They increases the
phagocytosis of the sperm within the uterus, 𝑒.𝑔.,
Lippes loop
Copper Releasing IUDs Along with phagocytosis of
the sperms, the copper ions released, suppresses
the sperm motility and the fertilizing capacity of
the sperm. 𝑒.𝑔., Cu-T, Cu-7, multiload-375
Hormone Releasing IUDs They makes the uterus
unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile
to the sperms, 𝑒.𝑔, progestasert, LNG-20

Amniocentesis It is technique of drawing-amniotic
fluid and testing it to find out the sex and
disorders of the foetus. The amniotic fluid is
usually taken at about the fourteenth or fifteenth
week after conception.
Sonography (a technique involving high
frequency sound waves to locate tissues of
different densities within the body) is used to
determine the location of the foetus and the
placenta just prior to perform amniocentesis.
Therefore, accidental damage to the foetus and
placenta is prevented.
Amniotic fluid contains cell from the skin of the
foetus and other sources. These cells can be used
to determine the sex of the infant, to identify some
abnormalities in the number of chromosomes and
to detect certain biochemicals and enzymatic
abnormalities.
If it is established that, if the child is likely to
suffer from a serious increase congential detect,
the mother should get the foetus aborted.
However, these days, this technique is also being
misused. Since, the sex of the foetus can be
determined by this technique, normal female
foetus is aborted. Therefore, this technique has
been banned
Population growth rate is the annual average
growth rate. It can be negative.
Birth rate replacement level can never be negative

Lucknow, India
Research in Reproductive Health It should be
encouraged and supported to find out the new
methods in reproduction related areas. ‘Saheli’ a
new oral contraceptive for the females was
developed by scientists in Central Drug Research
Institute (CDRI) in Lucknow
13 (b)
IUDs (Intra Uterine Devices) increases the
phagocytosis of sperms.
Natural method of contraceptive are the natural
ways to prevent fertilisation. These methods are
(i) Periodic Abstinence
Couple avoid coitus or intercourse from day 10 to
17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation is
expected to occur
(ii) Coitus interruption or withdrawl method
Withdrawl of penis from the vagina just before
ejaculation so as to avoid insemination
(iii) Lactational Amenorrhoea (Absence of
menstruation) This method is based on the fact
that ovulation and therefore the cycle don’t occur
during the period of intense following parturition.
Therefore, as long as the mother breast feeds the
child, chances of conception are almost nil

Surgical Method of Contraception In that method
the cutting of vas deferens in male and Fallopian
tubes in female takes place due to which the
motility of gametes (ova and sperm) inhibited.
Vasectomy male semen have all the constitutes
(secretion of Cowber’s glands, seminal vesicle and
prostate gland) but don’t have gametes (sperm)
17 (d)
According to the World Health Organisation
(WHO), reproductive health means a total well
being in all aspects of reproduction, i.e., physical,
emotional, behavioural and social. Therefore, a
society with people having physically and
functionally normal reproductive organs and
normal emotional and behavioural interactions
among them in all sex-related aspects might be
called reproductively healthy
18 (c)
Lactational Amenorrhoea Method LAM (absence of
menstruation) This method is effective only upto
maximum period of six months after child birth
20 (c)
Barrier Methods
These methods prevent the contact of sperm and
ovum with the help of barriers. Such methods are
(i) Condoms are the barriers made of thin
rubber/latex sheath used to cover the penis in the
male or vagina and cervix in female. It prevents
the deposition of the ejaculated semen into the
vagina of the female.
(ii) Diaphragms, cervical cap and vaults are the
barriers made of rubber that are inserted into the
female reproductive tract to cover the cervix
during coitus.
(iii) Spermicidal creams, jellies and foams are used
along with these barriers to increase their
contraceptive efficiency

Research in Reproductive Health It should be
encouraged and supported to find out the new
methods in reproduction related areas. ‘Saheli’ a
new oral contraceptive for the females was
developed by scientists in Central Drug Research
Institute (CDRI) in Lucknow

Infertility is the inability to produce viable
offspring due to the defects in its female or male
partner
26 (b)
Types of Oral Contraceptive Pills They contains
either progesterone alone or a combination of
progesterone and oestrogen.
Thus, oral contraceptive pills are of two types

Page| 19

(i) Mini Pills They contains progestin only. Saheli
contains a mosteroidal preparation called
centchroman, which is taken once in a week after
an initial intake of twice a week dose for 3
months. It has high contraceptive value with very
little side effects.
(ii) Combined Pills They are most commonly used
oral contraceptive pills. They contains synthetic
progesterone and oestrogen to check ovulation.
Pill like Mala D and Mala N are commonly used
combined contraceptive pills. They are taken daily

    Generally, AIDS detection is done by ELISA
    (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay).
    But sometimes the results of this technique may
    prove false. So, by combining it with PCR
    (Polymerase Chain Reaction), the realibility of the
    detection of AIDS increases
    56 (a)
    IUD (Intra Uterine Devices) New improved IUD
    are coming, which have more durability to avoid
    unwanted conceiving. Some of them has time
    period from one year to five years. So in delaying
    pregnancy or spacing children, IUD is most ideal
    contraceptive
    57 (d)
    The term ‘reproductive health’ simply refers to
    healthy reproductive organs with normal

    Transfer). If embryo contains is more than 8
    blastomere (cells) and it is transferred into uterus
    than, it is called IUT (Intra Uterine Transfer)
    62 (c)
    An ideal contraceptive should be user friendly,
    easily available, effective and reversible with least
    side-effects. It also, should not interface with the
    sexual drive, desire and sexual act of the user.
    Contraceptive methods are grouped into the
    following categories
    (i) Natural/traditional methods

Reproductive and child healthcare
India is amongst the first countries in the world to
initiate action plans and programmes at a national
level to attain total reproductive health as a social
goal. These programme called ‘family planning’

Page| 24

were initiated in 1951 and were periodically
assessed over the past decades.
Improved programmes covering wider
reproduction related areas are currently in
operation under the popular name ‘Reproductive
and Child Healthcare (RCH) programmes’
creating awareness among people about various
reproduction related aspects and providing
facilities and support for building up a
reproductively healthy society are the major tasks
under these programmes

Oral contraceptives contains two hormones,
progesterone and oestrogen.
Oral contraceptive pills works in four ways
(i) Inhibition of ovulation
(ii) Inhibition of motility and the secretory
activities of the oviducts (Fallopian tubes).
(iii) Changes in the cervical mucous, imparing its
ability to allow passage and transport of the
sperms.
(iv) Alteration in the uterine endometrium to
make it unsuitable for implantation
93 (b)
A-Hormonal releasing IUD, B-sperm
95 (a)
(i) Collected gamete are made to form zygote in
laboratory, in vitro fertilisation (IVF)
(ii) Zygote or early embryo with up to 8
blastomeres is transferred into the oviduct (ZIFT)
(iii) Zygote with more than 8 blastomeres is
transferred into uterus (IUT)
(iv) Fusion of gamete within the body of female
(In vivo fertilisation)
(v) Transfer of ovum from the donor to the
oviduct of the recipient (GIFT)
(vi) Sperms are injected into the ovum in vitro
(ICSI)
96 (c)
Bacterial STDs are
Diseases Pathogens
Syphilis – Treponema pallidum
Gonorrhea – Neisseria gonorrhea
Chancroid – Haemophilus ducrey
97 (c)
Female do not produce sperms

IVF – In vitro fertilisation
IUI – Intra Uterine Insemination
ICSI – Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
ZIFT – Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer
99 (c)
Oral administration of the small doses of either
progestogens or progestogen oestrogen
combinations is one of the contraceptive method
used by the females. They are used in the form of
tablets and hence, are popularly called the pills.
Pills have to be taken daily for a period of 21 days,
starting preferably within the first five days of
menstrual cycle.
After a gap of 7 days (during which menstruation
occurs) it has to be repeated in the same pattern
till the female desires to prevent conception. They
inhibit ovulation and implantation as well as alter
the quality of cervical mucous to prevent/retard
entry of sperms. Pills are very effective with
lesser side effects and are well accepted by the
females. Saheli the new oral contraceptive for the
females contains a non-steroidal preparation. It is
a once a week pill with very few side effects and
high contraceptive value
100 (c)
Population is defined as the total number of
individuals of a species present in a particular
area at a given time. A species has many
populations living in different regions.
The scientific study of human population is called
demography
