Detailed explanation-1: -An embolism is a blocked artery caused by a foreign body, such as a blood clot or an air bubble. The body’s tissues and organs need oxygen, which is transported around the body in the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Traveling often includes sitting for periods of time, which can increase your chances of developing a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a type of blood clot that forms in a large vein. Part of the clot can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a sudden blockage of arteries in the lung, known as a pulmonary embolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -An “embolus” is a blood clot or a piece of plaque that acts like a clot. The word “emboli” means there is more than one clot or piece of plaque. When the clot travels from the site where it formed to another location in the body, it is called an embolism. An arterial embolism may be caused by one or more clots.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
