Detailed explanation-1: -It usually happens when a blood clot in the deep veins in your leg breaks off and travels to your lungs. A blood clot that travels to another part of your body is called an embolus. When an embolus blocks a blood vessel it’s called an embolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -A thrombus that breaks loose and travels from one location in the body to another is called an embolus.

Detailed explanation-3: -A thrombus is a blood clot that forms in a vein. An embolus is anything that moves through the blood vessels until it reaches a vessel that is too small to let it pass. When this happens, the blood flow is stopped by the embolus. An embolus is often a small piece of a blood clot that breaks off (thromboembolus).

Detailed explanation-4: -An embolus is a particle or mass that flows through the bloodstream. A thrombus is a blood clot in a blood vessel. If a thrombus breaks off, it can become an embolus. An embolus can produce tissue damage or death in almost any organ in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -An embolism is often caused when a thrombus or a piece of thrombus breaks off from where it formed and travels to another area of your body. An embolism is a life-threatening condition and can cause serious complications such as stroke (clot in the brain) and pulmonary embolism (clot or blockage in the lung).
