MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that may cause a disorder in transmission at the neuromuscular junction. Antibodies directed against acetylcholine receptors are responsible. The thymus is the place that that production of these antibodies mainly occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -In many adults with myasthenia gravis, the thymus gland remains large. People with the disease typically have clusters of immune cells in their thymus gland and may develop thymomas (tumors of the thymus gland). Thymomas are most often harmless, but they can become cancerous.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by the action of specific antibodies to the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction, leading to impaired neuromuscular transmission. Patients with MG have an increased incidence of other autoimmune diseases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thymic hyperplasia is a condition in which the thymus gland is inflamed. This is a benign condition and can be associated with a number of other medical conditions, such as thyroid abnormalities.

Detailed explanation-5: -droopy eyelids. double vision. difficulty making facial expressions. problems chewing and difficulty swallowing. slurred speech. weak arms, legs or neck. shortness of breath and occasionally serious breathing difficulties.
