1. clot

   A thrombus (plural thrombi), colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis. There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated platelets and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein. The substance making up a thrombus is sometimes called cruor. A thrombus is a healthy response to injury intended to stop and prevent further bleeding, but can be harmful in thrombosis, when a clot obstructs blood flow through healthy blood vessels in the circulatory system. In the microcirculation consisting of the very small and smallest blood vessels the capillaries, tiny thrombi known as microclots can obstruct the flow of blood in the capillaries. This can cause a number of problems particularly affecting the alveoli in the lungs of the respiratory system resulting from reduced oxygen supply. Microclots have been found to be a characteristic feature in severe cases of COVID-19, and in long COVID.Mural thrombi are thrombi that adhere to the wall of a large blood vessel or heart chamber. They are most commonly found in the aorta, the largest artery in the body, more often in the descending aorta, and less often in the aortic arch or abdominal aorta. They can restrict blood flow but usually do not block it entirely. They appear grey-red along with alternating light and dark lines (known as lines of Zahn) which represent bands of white blood cells and red blood cells (darker) entrapped in layers of fibrin.

1. clot

   A clot is a semi-solid mass formed by blood cells (typically red blood cells), fibrin, and other blood proteins stick together, usually within a blood vessel. Clotting is a crucial process that prevents excessive bleeding when a person is injured. However, unwanted and harmful clots can also form, leading to medical conditions such as stroke or heart attack.

Examples of clot in a Sentence

1. Stanley Hazen:

   But what we’re seeing with erythritol is the platelets become super responsive — a mere 10% stimulant produces 90 to 100% of a clot formation, for people who are at risk for clotting, heart attack and stroke — like people with existing cardiac disease or people with diabetes — I think that there’s sufficient data here to say stay away from erythritol until more studies are done.

2. Ruth Mellor:

   Getting to hospital quickly is particularly important for patients who suffer certain types of stroke, because they can benefit from clot busting drugs, but only if these are given within hospital within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting, we knew from earlier research that people who have a stroke can take a long time to get to hospital and wanted to understand why that was.

3. Michael Reagan:

4. Daniel Williams:

   If blood in the penis has already clotted, they may also need to use a needle to flush out the blood clot and get normal, healthy blood flowing back into the tissue.

5. The Orchard -RRB- Young:

   After a terrible flight, I had what I thought was a bad back cramp, he’s like, ‘Get on the ground. I know how to handle cramps. Don’t worry.’ He puts his knuckle on my ribs, and all of a sudden, whatever pain I had moved over to the other side of my body. So then he goes, ‘Let’s go to the hospital.’ It ends up being a blood clot. So Bob Saget saved my life. But he almost nearly killed me by sending it to the other side of my lung when he put his knuckle in it.
