body of pancreas in dogs

The body of the pancreas is a subsection of the pancreas organ in the human body. It is somewhat prismatic in shape, and has three surfaces: anterior, posterior, and inferior. It is at the same level as the transpyloric plane. [WP,unvetted]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
