The large intestine is part of the digestive system and is located in the lower area of the abdomen within the large membrane known as the peritoneum (which has 2 layers separated by a small amount of liquid, enabling the organs contained within it to move freely over and around each other).
The pancreas is, however, a vital part of the digestive system and a critical controller of blood sugar levels. The pancreas is located deep in the abdomen. Part of the pancreas is sandwiched between the stomach and the spine. The other part is nestled in the curve of the duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
