The enzyme is made in two places. First, salivary glands in your mouth make salivary amylase, which begins the digestive process by breaking down starch when you chew your food, converting it into maltose, a smaller carbohydrate.he main source of lipase in your digestive tract is your pancreas, which makes pancreatic lipase that acts in your small intestine. First, bile made in your liver and released into your intestine converts dietary fat into small fatty globules.
In the context of blood work, PLT refers to the platelet count. Platelets are the cells that cause blood clotting and control bleeding. The normal range of platelets for adults is 3.5 to 10.5 billion cells per liter of blood, according to the Mayo Clinic. Continue Reading.
PT/PTT are laboratory tests that measure the clotting time (how long it takes blood to clot.). PT/PTT are blood tests and INR is a ratio calculated from the PT. At least a dozen blood proteins, or blood clotting factors, are needed to clot blood and stop bleeding (coagulation).Prothrombin, or factor II, is one of several clotting factors produced by the liver.OW PT/PTT = risk for blood clots/ stroke. The INR stands for International Normalized Ratio. The INR is calculated from the PT and is intended to allow valid comparisons of results regardless of the type of PT reagent used among different laboratories (INR = [patient PT / mean normal PT]).
