FACTS
WERES THE pancreas
In humans, the pancreas is located in the center of the abdomen and is therefore near several organs. It is closest to (and physically touches) the small intestine, the stomach and the spleen.
The pancreas is probably an organ you've never really thought about. It is located in the upper part of your tummy (abdomen) behind your stomach, and is protected by your ribs in the back. The pancreas can be described as having a head, body and a tail. The head is located more toward your liver on the right, while the tail runs to your left, under your stomach, a nearly to your spleen.
The pancreas has two general jobs which are very important = it releases digestive juices (enzymes) and that process is called an exocrine function. The other general job it does is putting different chemical messengers called hormones into your blood, which help with a wide variety of functions in your body. This job is called an endocrine process.
