MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE TYMUS OF 33-38 WEEKS ANTENATALLY DEATH INFANTS

Abstract

Those who died from intrauterine infection in the antenatal period make up 78.2% of all babies and form the basis of our research. Lagging behind the morphological development in the thyroid gland: it is characterized by the fact that the cortex of the thymus covers a very small area of the medulla, and there are almost no lymphocytes. As the main morphological substrate of these changes, the reticuloepithelial cells of the thymus cortical layer are small in size, the desmasomas are short and thick, the sparse fibrous structures connecting the desmasomas are abundant in the perivascular areas of the cortical layer, and the hematohistiogenic barrier is brought to a functionally impaired state.
