Study Notes

Thrombus

A thrombus is a blood clot that forms inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.

Thrombus formation due to sluggish blood flow

Thrombi can develop in conditions where blood flow is slow and sluggish, such as in deep veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or in the heart chambers (atrial fibrillation).

Consequences of coronary artery thrombosis

If a thrombus forms in the coronary artery, it can lead to a heart attack by blocking the flow of blood to the heart muscle.

Thromboembolism

A thromboembolism is a condition in which a thrombus breaks loose from its original site and travels through the bloodstream, lodging in a smaller blood vessel and blocking blood flow.

Possible site for thrombus development after incapacitation

A thrombus can develop in the deep veins of the legs after a period of incapacity, such as bed rest or prolonged sitting. This is because inactivity can slow blood flow and increase the risk of clot formation.
