In humans, it is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide which circulate in the blood.
What side of the body is the pancreas located on? The pancreas is made up of four parts: the head, the neck, the body and the tail, explains John Hopkins University. The head is the widest part of the pancreas and is further sectioned into two: the head and the ucinate process. The head rests inside the fold of duodenum on the right side of the body while the ucinate process curves towards the rear of the abdomen. The second part, the neck, connects the head to the rest of the pancreas; located immediately after it is the third part, the body.
