A "thrombus" that becomes dislodged and freely moving is an embolus. The thrombus occurs as a result of the final product of blood coagulation step in hemostasis (a process that tries to contain blood within a damaged vessel-its opposite is hemorrhage). It is achieved by aggregation of platelets that form a platelet plug and the activation of the humoral coagulation system. When the thrombus detaches from the vessel wall it is termed embolus.
