Abstract
The Australian murine rodent, the plains mouse (Pseudomys australis), possesses a highly complex sperm head, in which there are, in addition to an apical hook, two ventral processes that extend from its upper concave surface. The present study set out to determine the temporal deposition and distribution of the proteins within these structures during late spermiogenesis by light and electron microscopy using various antibodies to bull and laboratory rat sperm-head cytoskeletal proteins. The findings show that there are two phases of protein deposition. In the first phase, perinuclear theca proteins are deposited at the base of the ventral processes around the acrosomal extensions of the developing spermatids. In the second phase, as the ventral processes expand, actin and then perforatorial proteins are laid down during which time the processes become progressively more bilaterally flattened. These various proteins are moulded together to give rise to the two very large cytoskeletal structures that extend from the upper concave surface of the sperm head. They may be involved in binding the spermatozoon to the outer surface of the zona pellucida and/or in aiding the spermatozoon in zona penetration at the time of fertilisation.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
