NSC 830 Final Exam Questions With
Correct Answers
Estrogen
-suppresses |FSH |release |(suppresses |the |dominant |follicle)
-helps |with |cycle |control |(decreases |irregular |bleeding |compared |with |progestin |only |methods)
Progestin
-suppresses |LH |surge |(needed |for |ovulation)
-thickens |cervical |mucous |(impedes |sperm |penetration)
-slows |tubal |motility |(delays |transport |of |the |ovum |and |sperm)
-causes |atrophy |of |endometrium |(prevents |implantation)
Methods |of |Contraception
1) |Estrogens |& |Progestins
2) |Progestin |Only
3) |Emergency |Contraception
4) |Non-hormonal
First |Generation |Progestins
norethindrone
-spotting |(BTB)
,Second |Generation |Progestins
levonorgestrel, |norgestrel
-increased |androgenic |activity: |decreased |BTB, |increased |acne, |hirsutism, |dyslipidemia
Third |Generation |Progestins
desogestrel, |norgestimate
-decreased |androgenecity: |less |acne, |hirsutism, |dyslipidemia
Fourth |Generation |Progestins
drospirenone
-minimal |androgenic |activity |(low |risk |for |acne |and |hirsutism)
-mild |diuretic:risk |for |hyperkalemia |(not |a |problem |for |most |healthy |ppl, |but |if |on |ACE |
inhibitor, |could |be |an |issue)
Third |and |Fourth |Generation |Progestins
-improved |complexion
-less |weight |changes
-reduced |mood |swings
**increased |risk |of |thrombosis!!
, What |is |the |most |common |form |of |birth |control?
COCs
Combined |Oral |Contraceptives |(COCs) |MOA
-inhibit |ovulation
-thicken |cervical |mucous
-thins |endometrial |lining
-slows |tubal |motility
Sympathetic |Nervous |System
stimulated |by:
-physical |or |emotional |stress
-strenuous |exercise
-pain
-intense |emotions
*"fight |or |flight" |response
adrenergic |response
Parasympathetic |Nervous |System
stimulated |by:
-resting
-reparative |or |vegetative |functions |(disgestion, |excretion)
*"rest |& |digest" |response
