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 is located behind your stomach and attached via ducts to both the gall bladder and the small intestines. Comprised of exocrine tissues and endocrine tissues, the pancreas is an important organ for two reasons: It both regulates blood sugar levels within the body and aids in the digestion of food.
