Where is the pancreas located and how does it look like?

Answer 1

The pancreas is located in the center of your upper abdomen.
It has close relations to your stomach and a part of the small intestines called the duodenum, where the pancreatic duct meets the gastrointestinal tract.

The pancreas is ~15-20 cm long, and about 4-5 cm wide. It is generally described as having a head (caput pancreas), a neck (collum pancreas), a body (corpus pancreas) and a "tail" (cauda pancreas). The color is yellow-brownish. The consistency is not firm, but instead rather soft. For real look of it, i suggest googling for a picture.

The organ itself serves both endocrine and exocrine functions. The exocrine functions involve important partaking in digestion of food. The endocrine is also very important, of which you might know of its production of insulin.
