Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An embolus is a blood clot that often forms in the lower extremities and travels to another location.This can be lodged in the heart causing a myocardial infarction; in the brain, a TIA (transient ischemic attack), sometimes called a mini-stroke can occur; and in the lungs, a pulmonary embolism can prevent blood flow and breathing.
Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque in the arteries and is not caused by an embolus. However, plaque from atherosclerosis could potentially cause an embolism.
