My patient is a 64-year-old that came in for upper abdominal pain. She felt her pain was worse when she lied down flat, so she had been trying to sit up and lean forward for most of the day. As the day went on her pain got worse, so she came into Emergency Department for further evaluation. She did not have any nausea or emesis and no change in her bowel habits. No fevers or chills. No trauma to the abdomen. In the hospital, she is diagnosed with acute pancreatitis.

1. Describe the anatomic location of the pancreas relative to the other organs in the upper portion of the abdominal cavity. - The pancreas is about 6 inches long and sits across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach and liver, leveled with the top of the small intestine and it also borders the liver, spleen and kidneys. The head of the pancreas is on the right side of the abdomen and is connected to the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) through a small tube called the pancreatic duct. The narrow end of the pancreas, called the tail, extends to the left side of the body.

Response: The epigastric region is of the abdominals that is superior to the transverse colon. It goes up to just about the xiphoid process of the sternum. The width of a person’s neck is the approximate width of the epigastric region, so if someone were to draw two lines starting at both ear lobes going straight down the body and then draw a line horizontally that would line the top of the transverse colon and another line that would horizontally line up with the xiphoid process, that square made would be the epigastric region. The organs associated with digestion located in that region are the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreas.
