Please explain ??: The umbilical cord arises from the placenta and must be attached for that to happen. Perhaps there is another way to describe your question. If not please call the OB and ask them to explain what they really meant.
Structure of Fungi. The main body of most fungi is made up of fine, branching, usually colourless threads called hyphae. Each fungus will have vast numbers of these hyphae, all intertwining to make up a tangled web called the mycelium.
1. Morphologically fungi are unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (hyphae). Some fungi can alternate between the two forms (dimorphic fungi). 2. Hyphae are branching, threadlike, tubular filaments that either lack cross walls (coenocytic) or have cross walls (septate). 3. Hyphae reproduce asexually via the formation of spores termed microconidia or macroconidia. 4. Fungi produce toxins such as ergot alkaloids, psychotropic agents and aflatoxins. 5. Visualization of fungi in human tissue is accomplished by treatment with 10% KOH and staining with lactophenol cotton blue,
