- How a Blood Clot Forms
- A protein called thrombosis is released from the damage blood vessels
- Thromboplastin triggers the conversion of prothrombin (a soluble protein) into thrombin (an enzyme)
- Thrombin then catalyses the conversion of fibrinogen (a soluble protein) to fibrin ( solid insoluble fibres)
- The fibrin fibres tangle together and form a mesh in which placelets (small fragments of cells in the blood) and the blood cells get trapped
- This forms the blood clot
