Sepsis is the presence and persistence of pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins in the blood.

Plural of embolus. An embolus is something that blocks the blood flow in a blood vessel. It may be a gas bubble, a blood clot, a fat globule, a mass of bacteria, or other foreign body. It usually forms somewhere else and travels through the circulatory system until it gets stuck.

An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
