The pancreas is an essential organ for the digestion process. It is a gland that is part of the digestive system with an elongated structure weighing about 200 grams and 20 cm in length and consisting of three parts: a head, a body, and a tail.
The pancreas is located in the upper part of the abdominal cavity, behind the stomach and intestines. It is closely related to the liver, bile ducts, and other organ not involved in digestion.
