Thrombin
converts to fibrin during the clotting process
fibrinogen to fibrin.
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin.
Fibrin is a protein that forms the main component of blood clots. It is derived from fibrinogen, which is a soluble plasma protein produced by the liver. When bleeding occurs, the enzyme thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, leading to the formation of a mesh-like structure that helps to stabilize the clot and stop bleeding.
The correct sequence of events is: formation of thromboplastin, conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, and finally, clot retraction. Thromboplastin initiates the coagulation cascade, leading to thrombin production, which then converts fibrinogen into fibrin, forming the clot that subsequently retracts.
The coagulation protein thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin
Fibrinogen
The plasma protein that is converted to fibrin is fibrinogen.
The coagulation protein thrombin is what reacts with fibrinogen. This is one form of fibrin.
Thromboplastin -> Prothrombin -> Thrombin -> Fibrinogen -> Fibrin
Thrombin is the enzyme that converts fibrinogen into fibrin, leading to the formation of blood clots. This process is essential for wound healing and preventing excessive bleeding.
