3) Some Types of Contraception
1) Hormone medication that mimics the effects of progesterone and estrogen, thereby inhibiting FSH and LH secretion
2) Procedure where the vas deferens is cut and tied or cauterized
3) Procedure involving cutting the Fallopian tubes and tying the cut ends
4) A physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the uterus

4) Which description below explains how the hormones released in birth control pills causes natural ovulation to cease?
a. Birth control pills release progesterone. Progesterone feeds back to the pituitary gland, thereby inhibiting FSH and LH and in effect, stopping the ovarian and menstrual cycle.
b. Birth control pills release estrogen. Estrogen feeds back to the posterior pituitary, causing an increase of LH and thereby ceasing the ovarian cycle.
c. Birth control pills release progesterone. Progesterone causes an increase in FSH, thereby increasing the production of follicles.
d. Birth control pills release estrogen. Estrogen controls the secondary sex characteristics of the female body.
5) Which of the following statements correctly identifies the differences between spermicidal jelly and a condom?
a. Condoms are semipermeable membranes whereas spermicidal jelly does not form any barrier.
b. Condoms prevent the physical transfer of most sexual secretions. Spermicidal jelly kills sperm, but allows fluid transfer.
c. Condoms contain an antibacterial coating while spermicidal jelly only kills sperm cells.
d. Condoms form a barrier to protect against sperm movement as well as viruses. Spermicidal jelly breaks down cell membranes of bacteria.

7) Some Descriptions of Reproductive Technology
A) The combination of an egg and sperm in glassware before placing the blastocyst on the endometrium
B) A situation in which an embryo that is not genetically related to a woman is inserted into her uterus and carried to term
C) A procedure where sperm are collected and concentrated before being placed into a woman's uterus
D) A procedure to stimulate multiple egg maturation in a cycle

8) Which of the following statements is NOT correct about the immunological incompatibility between mother and baby?
a. If the baby is Rh+ and the mother is Rh–, it does not pose a problem as long as this is the mother’s first pregnancy.
b. Rh– blood has no rhesus factor proteins and therefore will produce antibodies for the Rh factor when exposed to Rh+ blood.
c. When the mother has Rh– blood, anti-Rh antibody injection is given during her pregnancy to prevent any antibodies from forming.
d. The baby’s Rh+ blood will never get in contact with the mother’s Rh– blood during the pregnancy as the placenta does not allow fetal blood cells to mix with the maternal blood.
9) Descriptions of Prenatal Diagnostic Tests
1) High frequency sound waves create images on a screen. This is used as a screening method to make sure the fetus is developing properly.
2) A sample of cells from the fetal portion of the placenta is taken for genetic analysis.
3) A sample of fetal blood is taken from the umbilical cord for genetic analysis.
4) A sample of fluid is taken from the space that forms below the embryonic disk.

10) In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that can help couples who are having difficulty becoming pregnant. In order to ensure a successful IVF procedure, doctors try to retrieve a large number of mature eggs.
Doctors inject the IVF candidate with a drug such as Bravellissima, which stimulates multiple follicle development. They also administer a drug such as Centrotic, which suppresses ovulation to prevent earlier than anticipated ovulation of mature ova.
Which of the following rows correctly identifies the naturally occurring hormones that the IVF drugs are imitating?
a. Bravellissima Centrotic
Estrogen or Progesterone LH
b. Bravellissima Centrotic
GnRH FSH
c. Bravellissima Centrotic
FSH Estrogen or progesterone
d. Bravellissima Centrotic
LH Estrogen or Progesterone
e. Bravellissima Centrotic
Estrogen or progesterone FSH
11) What is the difference between in vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial insemination?
a. IVF includes giving the woman additional FSH and LH to induce superovulation, whereas artificial insemination involves a woman undergoing any hormonal treatment.
b. Artificial insemination can be used during a surrogacy, whereas IVF cannot.
c. During IVF, gametes are introduced into the womb, whereas during artificial insemination, a blastocyst is implanted on the uterus.
d. IVF involves fertilization outside the body, whereas artificial insemination involves internal fertilization.
12) n Vitro Fertilization
Reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may allow couples who previously could not conceive to have children. However, the use of these technologies is not publicly funded. This means couples have to cover their own costs and may prevent some couples from having children.
You are tasked by the Government of Alberta to determine if IVF should be publicly funded. Evaluate the use of IVF as a reproductive technology.
A) How does IVF work?
B) Describe three conditions affecting the male or female reproductive systems that IVF can be used to assist with.
13) In vitro fertilization is a process that can help couples to conceive. However, it is an expensive process. Many couples pay for IVF out of pocket.
Should the Alberta government cover the costs of IVF? Explain why or why not from an economic viewpoint.
