plug

I believe embolus is related to the pathologic process that occurs within the circulatory system.
Here are dictionary definitions:
(One Look Dictionary and others)
Embolus:(noun) an abnormal particle (e.g. an air bubble or part of a clot) circulating in the blood

embolus , pl. emboli (emb-ls, -l) (Stedman)

1. A plug, composed of a detached thrombus or vegetation, mass of bacteria, or other foreign body, occluding a vessel.
2. Syn: emboliform nucleus

[G. embolos, a plug, wedge or stopper)

Plug:(noun) blockage consisting of an object designed to fill a hole tightly
