What causes the formation of fibrin strands in a sample?

Fibrin strands form when fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by the enzyme thrombin during the blood clotting process. Thrombin acts on fibrinogen to create fibrin monomers, which then polymerize into a network of fibrin strands that help to trap platelets and form a stable blood clot.


Why does a blood clot retract after it forms?

A blood clot retracts after it forms due to the contraction of platelets within the clot. When platelets aggregate, they release proteins such as thrombin and fibrin, which help to stabilize the clot. The contraction of these platelets pulls on the fibrin strands, causing the clot to shrink and become denser. This retraction helps to reduce the size of the wound and facilitates healing by bringing the edges of the damaged tissue closer together.
