The hyphal branching system. One branch (a hypha) is sectioned to show the septum with the pore and  some characteristic features of the cytoplasm. (N, Nucleus; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; D, dictysome or Golgi apparatus; V, vacuole; M, mitochondrion.) the dark bodies are Woronin bodies which are composed of protein and which can block the septal pore when a hyphal compartment becomes physically ruptured such that the contents of the undamaged compartments are not lost externally.
