The Plasma Component That Forms Fibrin, the Insoluble Protein, in a Blood

Question

The plasma component that forms fibrin, the insoluble protein, in a blood clot is
A) sodium.
B) albumin.
C) globulin.
D) fibrinogen.
E) fibrinolysis.

Accepted Answer

Fibrinogen is the plasma component that forms fibrin in a blood clot. When a blood vessel is damaged, fibrinogen gets converted to fibrin by the action of an enzyme called thrombin. This fibrin forms a mesh-like structure that traps blood cells and platelets to form a blood clot, which stops bleeding.
