A chemical equation represents by using these chemical formula of reactants and products molecules. For writing the chemical equation, first write down the formulas of substance involves in reaction, than place a plus sign between chemical formulas of substance with an arrow after last reactant molecule.
[edit on Wikidata] Thrombosis (Greek: Î¸ÏÏÎ¼Î²ÏÏÎ¹Ï) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus; Greek: Î¸ÏÏÎ¼Î²Î¿Ï) inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss.
A thrombus is a blood clot. It is attached to the wall of the blood vessel. If it dislodges to flow thru the blood stream then the blood clot is called an embolus. Oftentimes the terms 'blood clot and thrombus' are used interchangeably clinically.
