Detailed explanation-1: -A pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets stuck in an artery in the lungs, blocking the flow of blood. Blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of your legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -An embolus can lodge itself in a blood vessel. This can block the blood supply to a particular organ. This blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus is called an embolism. The heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins make up the body’s circulatory system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Embolism: A blockage in a blood vessel. These can happen because of blood clots, air bubbles or bits of fat circulating in your blood. Fat embolism: A blockage in a blood vessel made up of one or more particles of fat.
