The correct Answer is:
To analyze the question regarding the functions of contraceptive pills, we will evaluate each statement provided: 1. **Inhibit ovulation and implantation**: - Contraceptive pills primarily work by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). They also create changes in the uterine lining that make it less suitable for implantation. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 2. **Alter the quality of cervical mucus to prevent or retard the entry of sperms**: - Contraceptive pills do thicken the cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. This statement is also **true**. 3. **Prevent the ejaculated semen from entering the female vagina**: - This statement is **false**. Contraceptive pills do not physically block semen from entering the vagina; they work through hormonal mechanisms. 4. **Inhibit spermatogenesis**: - Spermatogenesis refers to the production of sperm in males. Contraceptive pills are designed for females and do not inhibit spermatogenesis. Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the correct statements regarding the functions of contraceptive pills are: - I. Inhibit ovulation and implantation (True) - II. Alter the quality of cervical mucus to prevent or retard the entry of sperms (True) - III. Prevent the ejaculated semen from entering the female vagina (False) - IV. Inhibit spermatogenesis (False) Thus, the correct answer is that statements I and II are true, while III and IV are false.
