Solution

In the given diagram of human blood smear, part '4' represents the Plasma.
The soluble protein found in Plasma which forms insoluble threads during clotting of blood is Fibrinogen.
At the site of injury, the damaged tissue or cells release thromboplastin which in presence of calcium ions converts inactive prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin then converts the soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin threads which trap the blood cells and forms blood clot.
