Vedclass · Answer

(D) Contraceptive pills contain either progesterone alone or a combination of progesterone and estrogen. These hormones act through several mechanisms to prevent pregnancy: $1$. They inhibit the release of $FSH$ and $LH$ from the pituitary gland,which prevents ovulation. $2$. They alter the quality of cervical mucus to prevent or retard the entry of sperms. $3$. They alter the uterine endometrium to make it unsuitable for implantation of the zygote. Therefore,all the mentioned actions are part of the contraceptive effect.
