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

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

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.

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.

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.

You can also call it an embolism.

I'll show you an example of that real quickly.

Thrombosis is the process of a thrombus forming.

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.

She was resuscitated, stabilized, whisked over to a CAT scan suite right next to the emergency room, because they were concerned about blood clots in the lung.

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.

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

A bottle opener.

Your ears!

And then the faucet is a beer tap.

I'm looking for the bottle opener.

The stopcock's turned off.

The main tap is turned off.

The main valve is turned off.

a cork in a bottle.

Ambien, earplugs.

Shore up the door!

We're cut off.

The syndrome, the female pattern now is called microvascular coronary dysfunction, or obstruction.

Did you turn off the gas?

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

Died October 12.

That's a fire hydrant.

And actually it stop there because of my arrows, but you can actually see now deoxygenated blood kind of goes from the right ventricle, through the pulmonary trunk, through the arteries and into the left and right lung.

I've got lung cancer.

Lung cancer.

Oh, that's a rough one.

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.

So what happens is that the heart, before sending blood out the aorta, before just dishing it out back into the body, it actually sends the blood over to the lungs.

Me, is greater.

This is fortress of Allah!

What is this, Gordon, your fortress?

An unhappy woman who drank too much and drove too fast and finally turned on the gas.

And it gives you the clue where the things we are going to go next. Because the word pulmonary means lungs.

We got water out of him.
