Note: arteries take blood away from the heart…veins return to heart
The difference is NOT about whether the blood is oxygenated or not!

In abnormal heart behavior, this recording may reveal
where trouble spots exist within the heart’s electrical
controls.
Blood Pressure (mm Hg)
Electrical Potential (mV)
An electrocardiogram (EKG): the electrical changes
recorded from electrodes attached to the skin reveal the
electrical activity of the heart.

thrombus

Blood clotting (thrombosis) in a veinule
A thrombus that breaks free and moves through the rest of
the circulation system is called a thromboembolus and can
lodge in other areas of the body resulting in pulmonary (lung)
embolism, stroke (brain), or myocardial (heart) infarction.

Blood flow will be restricted,
oxygenation will be
reduced.
Even a small group of cells
could completely cut off the
flow (myocardial infarction).
