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.
An embolus is a particle that moves about in our blood vessels, either in the veins or arteries. Most emboli are composed of clotted blood cells. A blood clot is called a thrombus and a moving blood clot is called a thromboembolus. As an embolus moves through the body's blood vessels, it's likely to come to a passage it can't fit through. It lodges there, backing up blood behind it. The cells that normally get their blood supply via this passage are starved of oxygen (ischemia) and die. This condition is called an embolism.
