Pancreatitis is pathologic swelling and inflammation of the pancreas. Your pancreas resides behind your stomach. It secretes enzymes that help you digest food and regulates how your body breaks down sugars. Pancreatitis can come and go quickly, or it can be a chronic problem.
The pancreas is a gland that produces enzymes that help digest food. It also produces hormones like insulin that regulates how food is used and stored. The pancreas is about 6 inches long and is located in the abdomen behind the stomach. The pancreas is divided into the head, the body, and the tail.
