Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an embolus (a blood clot, air bubble, fat or tumor mass) blocks a blood vessel, it can prevent blood flow to tissues supplied by that vessel, causing ischemia or infarction. This is called an embolism. An aneurysm is a weakening and bulging of a blood vessel wall, while anemia is a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells, and hypertension is high blood pressure.
