Question

Fibrin

Answer 1

FIBRIN: It is an insoluble fibrous non-globular protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood.It forms a fibrous mesh that impedes the flow the blood

Trauma/Endothelial Damage PlateletsPhospholipidProthrombin Activator

• Here Prothrombin Activator acts on prothrombin and converts it into Thrombin

ProthrombinThrombin

• Thrombin acts on inactive Fibrinogen a and converts it into Active Fibrinogen a

Inactive Fibrinogen a Active Fibrinogen a

• Active fibrinogen a undergoes polymerisation and forms loose strands of fibrin

Active Fibrinogen a Loose Strands of Fibrin

• Clotting factor XII and Calcium acts on loose strands of fibrin into Stable Fibrin(Tight Blood Clot)

Loose strands of Fibrin Fibrin (Tight Blood Clot)
