CAIE IGCSE Biology EXTENDED 9.4.7 Process of clotting as the conversion
Practise describing clot formation with flow diagrams, including fibrinogen conversion, fibrin mesh formation and trapped blood cells.
How this is tested
- complete clotting flow diagrams by converting soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin
- describe how fibrin forms a mesh that traps blood cells to produce a clot
- link damage to blood vessels with platelet action before the fibrin mesh forms
