Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What are the main causes of thrombosis?

A	Retention of sodium and water - necrotic ischemia - and infarction of the lung
B	Immobility-atherosclerosis-myocardial infarction (MI)
C	Coagulative necrosis-infarction of the lung-and static blood flow
D	A decrease in osmotic pressure-lymphatic blockage-and an increase in blood vessel permeability

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Most cases of arterial thrombosis are caused when an artery is damaged by atherosclerosis. Fatty deposits build up on the walls of the arteries and cause them to harden and narrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction are sometimes used as synonyms, although this is technically inaccurate as the thrombosis refers to the blocking of blood vessels with a thrombus, while myocardial infarction refers to heart tissue death due to the consequent loss of blood flow to the heart.
