C
True or false: Deep vein thrombosis is when a blood clot has traveled from a deep vein to a smaller vessels in the lung.
False
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that’s forms in a deep vein (usually the arm or leg).
Pulmonary embolism is when a blood clot has traveled from a deep vein to a smaller vessels in the lung.
