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
The phase difference between two waves is directly proportional to the path difference between them. The phase difference is a measure of how much the wave has shifted along its oscillation cycle, while the path difference is a measure of the spatial separation between two points where the waves are evaluated.
The difference between 164 and 220 is 56.
Potential difference between the ends of a conductor refers to the electrical energy difference per unit charge between two points in the conductor. It is commonly known as voltage and is measured in volts. A potential difference is necessary for the flow of electric current in a conductor.
The potential difference between the terminals of a connection wire is determined by the voltage difference applied across the wire. This voltage difference creates an electric field within the wire that causes charge carriers to move and establish a potential difference between the terminals.
The difference between the lowest temperatures refers to the numerical value that represents the interval between the two lowest recorded temperatures. It is the result of subtracting the lower temperature from the other to determine their difference.
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.
Thrombus (blood clot)
thrombosisThrombus.a blood clotA blood clot that is attached to a vessel wall is a thrombus, A drifting blood clot is an embolus
The medical term for a thrombus that has broken away from a vessel wall and is freely floating in the bloodstream is "embolus." An embolus can travel through the blood vessels and potentially block blood flow to vital organs, leading to serious complications like a pulmonary embolism or stroke. Treatment typically involves medications to dissolve the clot or procedures to remove it.
An embolus is a piece of solid matter circulating in the bloodsteam. If it becomes stationary and obstructs, it is a thrombus.
