Question:
Identify the term:
The step during wound healing in which Fibrinogen is converted into Fibrin by the action of Thrombin.
Hemostasis and Wound Healing:
Hemostasis is a series of quick, localized, and controlled physiological responses to stop bleeding. There are three mains steps to prevent blood loss: vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and blood clotting.
Answer and Explanation: 1
Blood clotting and more specifically, the coagulation cascade, is the step during wound healing in which fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by the action of thrombin. Thrombin turns soluble fibrinogen fibers into insoluble fibrin fibers. These insoluble fibrin fibers aid with clot retraction.
