Digestive system
Looks like
The long middle and left part of the pancreas, lying across the back of the belly behind the stomach to the spleen.
What it does
Makes digestive enzymes and, especially in the tail, insulin-producing islets.
Keeping it well
Tumours here are silent until late; new diabetes with weight loss over 60 is a reason to look.
