Lippes loop is a type of contraceptive used as:
- Cervical barrier
- Vault Barrier
- Non-Medicated IUD
- Copper releasing IUD
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Lippes loop is a type of contraceptive device known as a Non-Medicated Intrauterine Device (IUD). This device is inserted into the uterus and provides long-term contraception by creating an environment that is inhospitable for sperm, thereby preventing fertilization.
Unlike Copper releasing IUDs, which actively release copper to enhance contraceptive efficacy, Non-Medicated IUDs like Lippes loop function purely through their physical presence and shape in the uterus.
| Contraceptive Type | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Cervical Barrier | Blocks sperm entry by covering the cervix. |
| Vault Barrier | Not commonly used term but generally implies blockage within vaginal vault. |
| Non-Medicated IUD | Physically prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg; example: Lippes loop. |
| Copper Releasing IUD | Releases copper ions which are toxic to sperm. |

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity 2K while that in the middle has thermal conductivity K. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature 3T and the right end at T. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(T_1 / T_2\) is

Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system provides various functions. The ovaries produce the egg cells known as the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then taken to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg is then transferred to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in regard to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle. Once in the uterus, the fertilized egg can implant into the thickened uterine lining and continues to develop. If implantation does not take place, the uterine lining is shed as menstrual flow. In addition, the female reproductive system produces female sex hormones that preserve the reproductive cycle.
During menopause, the female reproductive system slowly stops making the female hormones that are required for the reproductive cycle work. At this stage, menstrual cycles can become irregular and finally stops. One year after menstrual cycles pause, the woman is deemed to be menopausal.
