What is Myasthenia Gravis? What is the biomechanical cause of the symptoms?

This condition is characterised by progressive fatigable weakness, particularly of the ocular, neck, facial and bulbar muscles (swallowing/speaking/chewing). Eventually effects other body parts, like the limbs. CAUSE: reduced acetylcholine receptors via inflamation response to antibodies e which reduces the number of acetylcholine receptors and damages the end plate (oversimplified; inhibited ACH reception).
