Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The pancreas lies transversely in the upper abdomen and mostly in the regio epigastrica. The location is called secondary retroperitoneal due to the change of position during embryonic time.
The caput pancreatis runs up to the 2/3 lumbar vertebra and the corpus pancreatis up to the 1/2 lumbar vertebra. The caput pancreatis can extend to the spleen and is located in the left upper abdomen.
