APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, fungi feed by absorption of nutrients from the environment around them. They accomplish this by growing through and within the substrate on which they are feeding. Numerous hyphae network through the wood, cheese, soil, or flesh from which they are growing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nutrient Absorption from Soil The fungi forms specialized hyphae called arbuscules, which can be found in the roots or phylum of vascular plants, and function to absorb nutrients and water from the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -It secretes digestive juices, that contain enzymes, directly on the food. These enzymes cause the food to become soluble, which it is then absorbed by the mold. The mold spreads over the surface of the substrate, sending its hyphae inward to absorb the nutrients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mold Morphology The portion of the mycelium that anchors the mold and absorbs nutrients is called the vegetative mycelium, composed of vegetative hyphae; the portion that produces asexual reproductive spores is the aerial mycelium, composed of aerial hyphae (Figure 8.3. 1).

Detailed explanation-5: -Vegetative hyphal fusion (VHF), or anastomosis, is a process commonly found in filamentous fungi that links neighboring hyphae within a mycelium to facilitate distribution of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules across the colony [16–18].
