The word obstruction is the one used to designate those ducts or spaces that are blocked and in which the transit of different types of elements is not possible precisely because of this plugging. The obstruction can occur in very varied and diverse spaces, for example an obstruction in traffic means that the streets or roads are blocked and that cars cannot pass, while a blockage of an artery means that the blood cannot happen and therefore can produce serious effects on the Health.

The word obstruction always indicates something that has been clogged or obstructed and that prevents the passage of the elements that normally pass through that space. Normally, regardless of the case, the obstruction always represents a discomfort or a anomaly that can generate a lot of annoyances in any type of situation. In the event that we are talking about traffic obstructions, they always generate several conflicts for the circulation of the different vehicles and also of the pedestrians. When we talk about obstruction of any of the body's pathways such as the arteries, the intestines, the respiratory tract, We are always in the presence of health complications that, depending on each case, can be minor or can be very serious.

However, the word obstruction is not used only in specific cases but can also be used metaphorically or abstract when speaking of actions or circumstances by which certain resolutions are obstructed. For example, one speaks of obstruction to the Justice when a detainee, an investigator, a professional or anyone acts without telling the truth or without tell the facts truthfully. In these cases, the obstruction also generates certain types of complications.
