Solution
Blood clot:
Clots are the masses of blood tissues that are clogged in the blood vessels thus resulting in the interruption of normal blood flow.
A blood clot is also called a thrombus.
It is the last step of the coagulation mechanism in the body.
A blood clot is composed of two components, the platelets and red blood cells in the blood form a plug-like structure and a protein called fibrin forms a mesh.
Clots in any of the vessels block the passage and prevent the flow of blood.
The vein where a clot is stuck may suffer long-term harm.
Heart attacks can occur when clots develop in the heart's arteries.
Blood clots can also develop in the blood arteries of the abdomen, which can result in pain, nausea, and/or vomiting.
