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
difference between clucth and coupling
difference between coupling and socket
Relation between phase difference and path difference is path difference/wavelength=phase difference/2*pi
There is no difference between micrometres and microns

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
Embolus
A saddle embolus, or saddle thrombus, is a blood clot in the distal aorta. It is called a saddle thrombus because it often blocks on or both of the femoral arteries, sitting like a saddle on the split between the two.
When a thrombus travels through the vascular system it is called an embolus.
true
Clot. Embolus. Thrombus. Thrombophlebitis.
When a thrombus (or part of it) embolizes and becomes lodged once again, it is called a thrombus once more. Some prefer to still call it an embolus - even after it lodges again.

A blockage of a blood vessel is caused by a clot called a thrombus. If that clot breaks free and travels through the blood vessels then it is called a embolus.
