produce up to 2 liters of pancreatic juice per day
arranged in sac-like structures
juice converges into the two ducts which drain into the duodenum for digestion
juice enzymes capable of completeing almost all of the digestoin of our food

retroperitoneal organ
lies posterior to the stomach, duodenum, proximal jejunum of the small bowel, also the transverse colon run horizontallyh acraoss the ab
contained in the anterior pararenal space
drapes across the mid aspect of the ab, just under the xyphoid process

Pancrease main parts
reverse
echogenicity is caompared to liver
echo intensity is slightly less than surrounding retroperitoneum and slightly greater than liver
texture depends on amount of fat dispersed between the lobules
fat is strongly echogenic so may be isoechoic with surround retroperitoneal fat
echotexture-homogeneous
surface smooth to slightly lobular
normal pancreatic tissue sonographically
