Electron microscope studies of sperm incorporation into the golden hamster egg
Abstract
Hamster eggs freed from the cumulus oophorus and zona pellucida were inseminated in vitro with capacitated spermatozoa. As soon as the spermatozoon reaches the surface of the egg cytoplasm, numerous microvilli of the egg surround the spermatozoon. Those microvilli attached to the acrosomal collar region of the spermatozoon quickly spread over the inner acrosomal membrane of this region, dislodging the outer acrosomal membrane and the overlying sperm plasma membrane. At the same time, microvilli fuse with the plasma membrane of the postnuclear cap region of the spermatozoon, and the egg cytoplasm quickly flows around the nucleus of that region of the spermatozoon. The inner acrosomal membrane persisting on the sperm head never fuses with the egg (microvillar) plasma membrane. This membrane is destined to disintegrate and be absorbed into the egg cytoplasm. Incorporation of the sperm flagellum into the egg cytoplasm takes place by fusion between plasma membranes of the spermatozoon and egg.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
