Thrombosis is the process of a thrombus forming.

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.

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

Petechial hemorrhaging in the mucosa of the lips. And the interior of the mouth, the strong odor of bleach,

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

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

Now, what I want to clarify is the actual terminology the last video was a little bit hand wavy with the terminology, and I want to go deeper here.

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

The walls are covered with villi where nutrient absorption takes place.

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.

A blood vessel burst inside his brain.

You place the muscle cells on the outside.

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.

But rather all of these different practices you know, the ancient swamis and rabbis and priests and monks and nuns didn't develop these techniques to just manage stress or lower your blood pressure, unclog your arteries, even though it can do all those things.

In this example here, it's an artery.

So this thrombus right here is going to make it harder for the blood to flow through this vessel.

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.

It goes around the ventricle and, as I showed you in the beginning, also around the atrium. It goes all the way up and covers both the left and right side.

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.

The revolution is called angiogenesis, and it's based on the process that our bodies use to grow blood vessels.

The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries.

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.

Blood flows through blood vessels.

It's gonna be going initially through a giant vessel.

And the capsules in her blood stream.

You can also call it an embolism.

This is a heart stent developed by Zhong You at Oxford University.

Blood runs in the veins.

So thrombi are these blood clots that form, that can help to obstruct a blood vessel.

Internal haemorrhaging.

You know, where did these things come from?

Or we can build endoscopes that can see deep inside the body around occluders, and also for cardioscopes.

I had no movement in my legs.

We can do this because tumor blood vessels are unlike normal, healthy vessels we see in other places of the body they're abnormal, they're very poorly constructed, and because of that, they're highly vulnerable to treatments that target them.

So you can imagine if you have these things build up, it's narrowing the actual vessel that's supplying blood downstream from that obstruction.

The microbes on your skin can help boost your immune system.

Shut your mouth!

like red blood cells.

(Laughter)

Subdural hematoma.

And this outer layer, this is the vasculature, which is incredible, around a human brain.

(panting)

End to end, that would form a line that would circle the earth twice.

I'll write it out again because I want to make sure we see clearly the difference between someone with compliant blood vessels and someone with non compliant vessels.
