Chronic beryllium disease is a rare disease that only occurs in a small percentage of people who have been exposed to beryllium. The amount of exposure to beryllium (the dose) plays a role in the development and severity of the disease. However, sensitization (an allergy-type reaction) to beryllium is a major factor.
Location of Pancreas. A normal pancreas is about 12 to 15 cm long and weighs about 110 gm. Pancreas location is behind the stomach and it lies more or less transversely in the posterior wall of the abdomen; it has duodenum on its right and spleen on its left.
The pancreas is a narrow, flat organ about six inches long with head, middle, and tail sections. It is located deep within the abdominal cavity, below the liver and between the stomach and the spine. Its head section connects to the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Inside the pancreas, small ducts (tubes) feed digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas into the pancreatic duct. This large duct carries the digestive enzymes down the length of the pancreas, from the tail to the head section, and into the duodenum.
