The pancreas /ËpÃ¦ÅkriÉs/ is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide which circulate in the blood.
The pancreas lies roughly in the center of the abdomen. It is located between the beginning of the small intestine (to the right), and spleen (to the left). It is behind the stomach and in front of the major blood vessels of the body, the aorta and vena cava.
