Study Notes
Thrombosis
- Thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.
Formation of Thrombosis
- The simplest form of thrombosis can occur in the case of a ruptured blood vessel injury, where a blood clot forms to prevent excessive bleeding.
Thromboembolism
- Thromboembolism occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream, potentially causing a blockage in another part of the body.
- In the case of an unruptured blood vessel, thromboembolism can lead to serious health complications, such as heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism.
