Is the pancreas on the left or right?

The pancreas is located in the superior abdominal region and left hypochondrium. The

pancreas is a mixed secretory gland, located at the first lumbar vertebral body, lying on the posterior abdominal wall, about 14-18 cm in length, with the upper edge located 10 cm above the umbilicus. The tail of the pancreas gradually tapers to the left of the pancreatic body, adjacent to the splenic hilum.

The pancreas contains a variety of digestive enzymes that can help digest fat, protein and other substances. It also contains endocrine cells with various functions, such as insulin, motilin, etc. If the human pancreas secretes too much or too little, it is easy to induce diseases such as weight loss, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.
