In infective endocarditis, septic emboli may break off. What is/are the possible outcome(s) of emboli in the circulation?

The possible outcomes of septic emboli in the system is it's ability to cause metastatic infections in various organs of the body.

Explanation:

Infective endocarditis is defined as the infection of the lining of the interior surfaces of the heart chambers ( the endocardium). This infection is usually caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. One of the major types of complications of infective endocarditis is septic embolism.

Septic embolism is the fungal or bacterial infection of a mass ( blood clot, air bubbles or foreign materials) which breaks off from their original location that has been infected for a long period of time ( example is the infective endocarditis).

The possible outcomes of septic emboli in the system is it's ability to cause metastatic infections in various organs of the body. The organs and organ systems that are mostly affected includes:

--> Central Nervous System,

--> Bone and joint structures

--> Liver,

--> Kidney,

--> Sleen,

--> Lungs and

--> Coronary Vessels.

Depending on the location of the detached emboli in the body complications caused by this effect includes: acute diffuse glomerulonephritis, bacterial meningitis,splenic abscess, pleuritic chest pain,hepatic abscess just to mention a few. I hope this helps, thanks.

1) The function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. The digestive system is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus, The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.  Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is one of the major ways the body maintains homeostasis. Organs of excretion make up the excretory system. ... The kidneys maintain homeostasis by controlling the amount of water, ions, and other substances in the blood

2) When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic balance is disrupted. Homeostatic imbalance may lead to a state of disease. Disease and cellular malfunction can be caused in two basic ways: by deficiency (cells not getting all they need) or toxicity (cells being poisoned by things they do not need).

3)   cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The cardiovascular system includes your heart and blood vessels, which function to remove deoxygenated blood from and return oxygenated blood throughout your body.

Hope This helps!!!
