  - - - Damage to the lining of blood vessels trigger the release of coagulation factors
        
        Coagulation factors stimulate prothrombin which cleaves to form thrombin and helps platelets form a sticky plug for the injury site
        
        prothrombin is a protein produced by the liver
        
        thrombin catalyses many other coagulation-related reactions
        
        Converts fibrinogen to fibrin
        
        Fibrin threads adhere to the platelet plug to form an insoluble clot
