Thrombus
What is the difference between a thrombus and an embolus?
Thrombus: A fibrinous clot that forms in and obstructs a blood vessel, or that forms in one of the chambers of the heart. (It stays in one place) Embolus: A mass, such as an air bubble, a detached blood clot, or a foreign body, that travels through the bloodstream and lodges so as to obstruct or occlude a blood vessel
Is a blood clot a circulatory disorder?
A blood clot can be a circulatory disorder, if it forms in an inappropriate place. For example, a blood clot in the large veins of the legs is a circulatory disorder. In the case of a blood clot that functions to stop a broken blood vessel, the clot is part of the normal human physiology.

What is thrombo embolism?
A thrombus is a blood clot. It is attached to the wall of the blood vessel. If it dislodges to flow thru the blood stream then the blood clot is called an embolus. Oftentimes the terms 'blood clot and thrombus' are used interchangeably clinically. However, it is important to note that a 'clot' is the result of the coagulation cascade (e.g. such that it can occur in a vial), while a thrombus refers to BOTH the coagulation cascade occurring AND the aggregation of platelets on the side of a vessel.
Cell fragments that help blood to clot?
Platelets (also called 'thrombocytes') flow in the blood with white & red blood cells. They are what gather together at a damaged site and connect or 'adhere' to one-another, forming a protective barrier. Once formed, other clotting factors floating in the blood literally get 'turned-on' when passing the site and are drawn into the formation. Fibrin, a fiborous tissue part, is the final stage of the clot. A fibrin clot is created when fiborous tissue connects to several of the clotting factors and forms a protective 'web' over the area. Ideally, this formation stays in place until the area is healed, at which time the clot disolves into tiny fragments and washes away in the blood.
What is the name for a floating intravascular clot?
A floating intravascular clot is called an embolus. This clot can travel through the bloodstream and may obstruct blood flow in various parts of the body, potentially leading to serious medical conditions such as stroke or pulmonary embolism. Emboli can originate from thrombosis, where a clot forms in a blood vessel and dislodges.
