Information from chemical equations: â Tells what is being reacted and formed. â Tells the ratio of products formed from the reactants. (MOLE RATIO) Mole ratio: a ratio between the number of moles of any two substances in a chemical reaction. Atoms and molecules are incredibly small and impossible to count.
Thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein, usually in your legs, that becomes swollen due to a blood clot. A blood clot is a solid formation of blood cells that stick together.
Disorders of blood cells (for instance sickle cell disease) or blood proteins can increase the chance of thrombus formation and therefore contribute to the risk of ischemic stroke. An embolus is most often a piece of a thrombus that has broken free and is carried toward the brain by the bloodstream. The term thromboembolus is used a lot because it turns out that most emboli arise from thrombi. However, bits of plaque, fat, air bubbles, and other material also qualify as emboli. Presumably an embolus floats along with the flowing blood until it encounters a narrowing in an artery through which it cannot pass.
