What's the difference between embolism and intercalation?
Embolism
Definition:
(n.) Intercalation; the insertion of days, months, or years, in an account of time, to produce regularity; as, the embolism of a lunar month in the Greek year.
(n.) Intercalated time.
(n.) The occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus. Embolism in the brain often produces sudden unconsciousness and paralysis.

(20) Immediately after embolization 141Ce labelled microspheres were administered into the left ventricle.
Intercalation
Definition:
(n.) The insertion of a day, or other portion of time, in a calendar.
(n.) The insertion or introduction of anything among others, as the insertion of a phrase, line, or verse in a metrical composition; specif. (Geol.), the intrusion of a bed or layer between other layers.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is suggested that the intercalated disc functioned as a barrier to the freezing process.
(2) The chiral intercalators, at micromolar concentrations, inhibit the reaction of EcoRI, but for each enantiomeric pair it is the lambda enantiomer, which binds only poorly to a B-DNA helix, that inhibits EcoRI preferentially.
(3) The effect of DNA-crosslinking agents (cisplatin and mitomycin C), a DNA-intercalating agent (adriamycin) or monofunctional psoralen (4-Met-4', 5'-dihydropsoralen plus near-ultraviolet radiation) on DNA replication in cultured mouse FM3A cells was studied by sedimentation of the pulse-labeled DNA in an alkaline sucrose gradient.
(4) In 1:1 saturated complexes with the octamers [d(GGATATCC)]2 and [d(GGTTAACC)]2, [N-MeCys3,N-MeCys7]TANDEM binds to each octamer as a bis-intercalator bracketing the TpA step.
