Answer #1

Location: The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The right side of the organ (called the head) is the widest part of the organ and lies in the curve of the duodenum, the first division of the small intestine. The tapered left side extends slightly upward (called the body of the pancreas) and ends near the spleen (called the tail) - http://www.health.uab.edu/14459/

It’s found behind the stomach … an ultrasound is often used to check it.
