Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury, and falling poses an especially serious risk for older adults. When a senior sustains a traumatic brain injury in a fall, direct effects of the injury may result in long-term cognitive changes, reduced ability to function and changes in emotional health.
Asexual reproduction is by means of spores produced in sporangia borne on the hyphae. Zygomycota get their name from the production of thick-walled sexual structures called zygosporangia, which can remain dormant for long periods.
cones are specialized reproductive structures of the sporophyte. Each cone consists of several âscalesâ arranged around an axis. Each scale is a sporophyll that will bear the spores of the sporophyte generation. An ovulate cone has many hard, radiating scales, each bearing a pair of ovules. Pollen cones are generally much smaller than ovulate cones; they contain many sporangia, each of which makes numerous haploid spores by meiosis. Male gametophytes (pollen grains) develop from the spores.
