The new pancreas and duodenum are then connected to the patient's duodenum, and the blood vessels are sutured together to restore blood flow to the new pancreas.
The Small Intestine is connected to the Large Intestine and the Pancreas.
pancreas is an independent gland. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice which contains enzymes for digestion. But, the pancreas is connected to the small intestine through the pancreatic duct at the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine connected from the stomach).
In horses the pancreas is located directly below the stomach (ventral to the stomach). It's connected to the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum).
the liver is connected to the bile duct. This is a common duct that collects excretions, from both, the liver and the pancreas and tranfers it to the duodenum.
The stomach leads into the first part of the small intestine, which is called the duodenum. The pancreas also leads into the duodenum, by a duct (tube) called the pancreatic duct. So both connect to the small intestine, but the stomach does not connect to the pancreas. For a diagram see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreas
