a) thrombus travelled from femoral artery to cerebral arteries Paradoxal emboli explanation (very good)! Passage of a clot (thrombus) from a vein to an artery. When clots in veins break off (embolize), they travel first to the right side of the heart and, normally, then to the lungs where they lodge, causing pulmonary embolism. On the other hand, when there is a hole at the septum, either upper chambers of the heart (an atrial septal defect) or lower chamber of the heart (ventricular septal defects), a clot can cross from the right to the left side of the heart, then pass into the arteries as a paradoxical embolism. Once in the arterial circulation, a clot can travel to the brain, block a vessel there, and cause a stroke (cerebrovascular accident).

Mainly due to arterial occlusion and there is limited putrefaction. -Wet: occurs in naturally moist tissue and organs (mouth, bowel, lungs, cervix, and vulva). Bedsores are also wet gangrene infections. Wet gangrene is coagulative necrosis progressing to liquefactive necrosis. -Putrefaction: 1/7 stages in the decomposition of a dead body. It can be viewed as the decomposition of proteins in a process that results in the eventual breakdown of cohesion between tissues and the liquefaction of most organs. Caused due to bacterial or fungal decomposition of organic matter and results in production of noxious odours.
