It's less likely but sometimes a plaque could also go downstream, kind of form a thromboembolism.

So, thromboembolus is a more specific way of calling it an embolus, and once one of these things lodge themselves and block the blood flow, that's a thromboembolism.

It would be this thrombogenic material, the clots around it.

You can also call it an embolism.

What we drew in the last video and this one as well these emboli that are also clotted, they are also thrombi and emboli at the same time, this would be called a thromboembolus.

Once things break off and become an embolus that's the general term for it and in particular, if it's broken off material that is due to a clot, it is a thromboembolus.

This actual clot that forms, that can restrict the blood vessel, this is a thrombus.

So this right here is thrombosis occurring.

In the last video I called this a thrombosis but that's really not quite right, thrombosis is the formation of the clot that can restrict the blood flow, but when it breaks off, becomes an embolus, and lodges itself further off and restricts blood flow, this is called a thromboemoblism.

Thrombosis is the process of a thrombus forming.

It's a cardiac stress test.

Now we saw on the video on myocardial infarctions or heart attacks that sometimes, one of these plaques might become unstable and they break off and then you have a complete blocking of a vessel, and we called this if it's an embolus... and remember that an embolus is something that is just floating around and eventually blocks a vessel, and if it was a due to a ruptured plaque that also had clotting factors around it when it was released, then we would call this a thromboembolism.

So it would not be wrong to call it an embolus, but in particular if you know it is a thromboembolus, you know it is the clotted material from a released plaque that can go lodge itself.

Now any of these released pieces or chunks in any of these blood vessels, that can float around and eventually lodge themselves in and eventually block the blood flow, these are called emboli, or if I use it in the singular, one of these is an embolus.

Your ears!

Hopefully I'm not confusing too much these medical terms confuse ME a lot but I want to make it very clear, thrombosis is formation of a blood clot inside of a blood vessel than can restrict the flow of blood.

And then the faucet is a beer tap.

This is highly thrombogenic material. Thrombogenic, very fancy word.

I want to be clear, embolus is the general term for anything that can float around in your blood and eventually lodge itself at some point in your circulatory system and restrict blood flow.

Use that to open beer bottles? That would've been nice, beers.
