Thrombosis involves the formation of blood clots within vessels, which can be identified through histological examination:
- Platelet Aggregation: Clusters of platelets can be seen adhering to the vessel wall. - Fibrin Meshwork: Networks of fibrin strands entrap red blood cells and other components, forming a thrombus. - Organization and Recannalization: Over time, thrombi can undergo organization, where new capillaries form within the clot, partially restoring blood flow.
