    The pancreas is located in the retroperitoneal space behind the stomach. It has a head, neck, and body that taper into a tail. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digest food and hormones like insulin and glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels. Major blood vessels like the hepatic portal vein and arteries including the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and splenic artery pass near the pancreas. The pancreatic duct drains pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine.
