Answer 1

Deep veins of the leg

Step-by-step explanation:

Pulmonary embolism is caused by clogging of the arteries of the lungs by clots (thrombi or emboli) that most often form in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis and are released into the bloodstream. Frame severity is directly correlated with plunger size. Larger ones can completely disrupt the pulmonary circulation. This condition can be deadly.
