Question
Chapter 49, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The ways, in which an antipregnancy vaccine stimulates a woman’s immune system to develop antibody (Ab) against human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to prevent a possible pregnancy.
Introduction:
The process by which possible pregnancy can be prevented is called contraception. Contraception can be done in several ways, such as by using condoms, IUD (intrauterine device), oral pills, or antipregnancy vaccine. Antipregnancy vaccines are responsible in preventing the gonadotropin hormone or the function of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) or the effect of hCG.
