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.
The gametophyte is the gamete-producing plant that produces male reproductive structures called antheridia, which produce sperm, and female reproductive structures called archegonia, which produce eggs. When a sperm cell fertilizes an egg inside the archegonium, a diploid zygote is formed.s the spore germinates, it develops into a thin, filamentous stage called a protonema. As the protonema grows, it develops into a mature gametophyte with root-like rhizoids that anchor the plant and an erect, stem-like structure with whorls of leaf-like photosynthetic tissues.
