PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -True-As a retroperitoneal organ, the pancreas adheres to the dorsal abdominal wall, loses its mesentery, and comes to lie posterior to the peritoneum during development. The pyloric sphincter regulates passage of chyme from the stomach into the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreas is a 6-inch long heterocrine gland located inferior to the stomach and surrounded by the duodenum on its medial end. This organ extends laterally from the duodenum toward the left side of the abdominal cavity, where it tapers to a point.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreas is quite high up in your abdomen. It lies across your body where your ribs meet at the bottom of your breastbone, just behind your stomach. It is about 6 inches (15 centimetres) long and shaped like a leaf.
