22
Q

coenocytic hyphae are common with?

A

zygomycetes

23
Q

fungi which produce microscopic spores inside special, elongated cells or sacs, known as ‘asci’

A

ascomycetes

24
Q

a fungus whose spores develop in basidia. These include the majority of familiar mushrooms and toadstools

A

basidiomycetes

A

deuteromycetes

26
Q

fungi that lack sexual reproduction and are represented by an anamorph. These are identified on the basis of asexual reproductive structures

A

fungi imperfecti

Q

fungi whose cell walls contain melanin which imparts a brown or black pigment

A

dermitaceous fungi

28
Q

fungi that are nonpigmented

A

hyaline hyphae

Involves keratinized tissue or nails, hair, or stratum corneum of the skin (dermatophytes) (Tinea versicolor)

A

Superficial

30
Q

name this type of mycology classification scheme

Involve primarily subcutaneous tissues, lymphatic vessels and
contiguous tissues. Usually acquired by trauma

A

Subcutaneous

31
Q

name this type of mycology classification scheme

May involve any organ system and can vary from subclinical to
progressive disease. Can cause disease in healthy individuals,
the etiologic agents have a specific geographic niche

A

Systemic

32
Q

name this type of mycology classification scheme

Fungi that are part of normal flora, or saprophytic organisms
out in the environment. Often initiated by a break in the hosts
primary lines of defense.

A

Opportunistic
