Solution

The conversion of fibrinogen after an injury is precipitated by the release of thrombin. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. When an injury occurs, the body responds by initiating the process of blood clotting or coagulation.

  2. This process begins with the activation of the prothrombinase complex, which converts prothrombin, a plasma protein, into thrombin.

  3. Thrombin then acts on fibrinogen, another plasma protein, converting it into fibrin.

  4. Fibrin forms a mesh-like structure that traps blood cells and platelets, forming a clot to prevent further bleeding.

So, the correct answer to your multiple-choice question is "The release of thrombin".
