15. Although the most effective forms of oral contraceptive for women contain estrogen and progestin, some birth control pills contain a small dose of progestin only. This is because there are many risks and side effects associated with estrogen. Which of the following statements is not a reason for using a progestin-only oral contraceptive? A. Progesterone maintains the corpus luteum as corpus luteum releases a large amount of progesterone and some estrogen. B. Progesterone suppresses the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus. C. Progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent the production of FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary. D. Progesterone suppresses the maturation of follicles, thereby preventing ovulation of a mature ovum. 16. Which of the following statements does not describe the events that occur if the ovum is not fertilized? A. GnRH, FSH, and LH levels begin to increase. B. Progesterone maintains the endometrium for the zygote. C. Low levels of progesterone result in menstruation. D. The corpus luteum degenerates and stops producing estrogen and progesterone.

This effectively increases plasma concentration and works as a contraceptive because ________. Select one: A. it acts on the ovary to cause cessation of follicular cycling. B. it prevents the proliferative or secretory phases of the menstrual cycle and the embryo will have no place to implant C. it causes a thickening of the mucus plug at the cervix that prevents sperm from penetrating the womb and reaching the ovulated egg D. it creates an acidic condition in the vag... that acts as a spermicide
