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.
This is named after the pin-like structures (sporangia) which project upwards, containing spores. If such a fungus spore lands on a suitable substrate (i.e. material capable of providing support and nutrition), it may germinate and produce a few filamentous strands (about 10 Âµm in diameter) called hyphae (singular - hypha) which are the feeding parts of the fungus, and they branch repeatedly.
