For the similar condition, where the eyes deviate inward (rather than outward), see esotropia. Exotropia (from Greek ÎµÎ¾Î¿ÏÏá½ÏÎ¹Î±, ÎµÎ¾Î¿ exo meaning to exit or move out of and ÏÏá½ÏÎµÎ¹Î½ tropein meaning to turn), also referred to as divergent squint, is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
Anabolism (from Greek: á¼Î½Î¬, upward and Î²Î¬Î»Î»ÎµÎ¹Î½, to throw) is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy, known also as an endergonic process.
An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel. The embolus may be a blood clot (thrombus), a fat globule, a bubble of air or other gas (gas embolism), or foreign material. An embolism can cause partial or total blockage of blood flow in the affected vessel. Such a blockage (a vascular occlusion) may affect a part of the body distant from where the embolus originated. An embolism in which the embolus is a piece of thrombus is called a thromboembolism.
