The Pancreas is inferior (below) and posterior (behind) the stomach.
The Pancreas is attached laterally to the left of the Duodenum, the first loop of the small intestine.
The Pancreas acts as both an exocrine gland when it secretes pancreatic digestive enzymes into the digestive tract. It also works an endocrine gland in the production and secretion of insulin for the blood steam.
