Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence is: Platelets get lodged at the site of vessel injury and partially seal the leak (a), then they release prothrombin activator (e), which converts prothrombin into thrombin (d). Thrombin forms long threads known as fibrin (b), which winds around the platelet plug forming a framework for the clot (f), and finally, the fibrin framework traps red blood cells in the clot to seal the leak (c).
