Embolus.
Blood clots can move, if they are inside a blood vessel. Moving blood clots are dangerous since they might cause a blockage of the blood flow at some critical location, causing a heart attack or stroke.
An embolus is a blood clot or other substance that travels through the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel. When a vessel is blocked by an embolus, it can lead to reduced blood flow to tissues and organs supplied by that vessel, potentially causing damage or even tissue death if not promptly addressed. Treatment for a blocked vessel by an embolus may involve medications to dissolve the clot or procedures like thrombectomy to physically remove the blockage.
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
An embolism is a blood clot that has traveled from where it formed to another part of the body, potentially causing a blockage in a blood vessel. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel. An embolism is linked to thrombosis because it often originates from a thrombus that breaks free and travels through the bloodstream.
The patient may have disease within the blood vessels such as an inflammation of the walls of the vein (phlebitis) or hereditary blood clotting disorders. The patient may also develop blood clots because of other medical conditions.
When a thrombus(clot) breaks free and travels through the bloodstream it is called an embolus.
No. Dyspepsia means stomach upset, indigestion or "heartburn." Pulmonary embolism means a blood clot that gets stuck in a blood vessel in the lungs; typically the clot formed in the legs (deep venous thrombosis, or DVT), then broke free and travelled through veins until it got stuck in the small vessels in the lungs.
Cerebral thrombosis is caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying the brain that occurs in the brain itself.Cerebral embolism is caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying the brain that forms elsewhere in the circulatory system that breaks free. It is commonly cause by atrial fibrillation.Intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel within the brain itself breaks either from trauma or excess internal pressure.Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel at the brain surface just below the arachnoid membrane breaks either from trauma or excess internal pressure.
A corpuscle is a small free-floating cell, such as a blood cell.

Because when there is a clot, it prevents the free flow of blood; this can result in deterioration throughout the entire body, not to mention a shut down of a specific organ-system.
