Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrin forms a mesh that traps blood cells and platelets during the clotting process. Fibrinogen is the precursor to fibrin and is converted to fibrin by the action of thrombin. Prothrombin is also converted to thrombin in the clotting process, but it does not directly play a role in forming the mesh that traps blood cells and platelets. Plasmin is a protein that breaks down fibrin and dissolves blood clots.
