Thrombosis is the formation of a ''blood clot'' inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.

When a blood vessel is injured, the body uses [[Platelets|Platelets]] (thrombocytes) and [[Fibrin|Fibrin]] to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss. Even when a blood vessel is not injured, blood clots may form in the body under certain conditions. A clot, or a piece of the clot, that breaks free and begins to travel around the body is known as an [[Embolus|Embolus]].
