The most widely used hormonal methods of birth control: a. prevent fertilization by killing sperm b. prevent ovulation by inhibiting release of FSH and LH c. prevent implantation into the endometrium d. block transport of fertilized egg to uterus
Birth control pills commonly provide excess progesterone that serves to inhibit (suppress) the actions of FSH and LH through a negative feedback loop. Given the role these hormones (FSH and LH) play, how could this feedback loop prevent a woman from becoming pregnant?
Follicle cells left behind after ovulation
A)are shed during menstruation.
B)become the corpus luteum, which secretes steroid hormones.
C)become the placenta, which secretes human chorionic gonadotropin.
D)become the corpus luteum, which secretes luteinizing hormone.
