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.
A thrombus is a blood clot that forms in any vessel and stays there. An embolism is a traveling clot moving from where it formed to another location in the body. Either can lodge in a blood vessel and block the flow of blood.
Thrombosis is the mechanism of forming a thrombus (stationary clot).
An embolism is a blood clot, an aneurysm is the breaking of a weak spot in a blood vessel
A blood clot that forms in the vein is the thrombus. Anything that travels through the blood vessels until it reaches a blocked blood vessel is a embolus.
A thrombosis and embolism are similar because they both form blood clots. However, a thrombosis is stationary while an embolism usually travels.
A thrombosis is a blood clot that stays put where it was formed. An embolism is a blood clot that breaks loose and travels through the blood stream.

An embolus is a physical mass (fat, air, blood clot, etc) which can travel to a different location in the arteries. An embolism is when an embolus actually blocks a capillary. A thrombus is a physical mass which remains attached to it's site of origin. A thrombus may detach to become a thrombo-embolus which may then cause an embolism.
Yes, an embolism is the sudden blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus. The embolism is often named for the causative factor, such as an air embolism or a fat embolism or its location, such as pulmonary embolism.
