A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot in a pulmonary artery blocks the flow of blood in the pulmonary circuit. What would happen to an individual that has a pulmonary embolism?

A lack of blood oxygenation

Explanation:

Because there is a physical blockage of blood-flow from the heart to the lungs, blood would not be properly oxygenated. Deoxygenated blood won't be able to reach the lungs (to get oxygenated) if blocked by the clot in the pulmonary artery.

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.
