The medical expression is thrombus (pl. thrombi) when the clot is located at its origin. If a (part of a) clot has dislodged, moved with the blood and stuck in another blood vessel that becomes narrowed or obstructed, the clot is called and (thrombo-) embolus (pl. emboli). Clots normally originate after an injury to a blood vessel, like a wound or a heavy blow causing internal injury. The main function of a clot is to stop or limit blood loss by plugging the holes in the blood vessels, but certain diseases or situations may cause clots to form spontaneously.
a thick and coagulated solid made of blood to allow for a wound to close up.
