Thrombosis. Light micrograph of a section through a blood vessel showing a thrombus (blood clot, dark pink) on the vessel's wall (light pink). Damage to the wall of a blood vessel often results in the exposure of the underlying intimal collagen layer. This triggers the blood clotting process, leading to the formation of a thrombus (dark pink).
