Pancreas in the Fall

This piece is derived from a CT scan and shows the upper abdominal cavity with the pancreas, surrounded by the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. The aorta and inferior vena cava are the major transport vessels and serve to connect the organs. The pancreas which is usually the quiet one of this family (aka hermit of the abdomen) in this piece is front an center in tiger black and orange colors. The orange hue gives a seasonal ambiance reminding us of the colors of the fall.
