Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrin (also called Factor Ia) is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is formed by the action of the protease thrombin on fibrinogen, which causes it to polymerize.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin by thrombin to form a fibrin fibre network, which incorporates red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets to produce a clot that prevents blood loss following vascular injury.
