Answer 1

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in one of the vessels of the lungs. If it clogs the vessel, it could limit or obstruct oxygenation of the bloodstream. Since the lungs provide oxygen for the entire body, an embolism could lead to inadequate oxygenation of all the body’s tissues, organs, and systems.
