Gastropancreatic

/ɡæstrəʊpæŋkriˈætɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving both the stomach and the pancreas.

Etymology

From gastro- (stomach) plus pancreatic (relating to the pancreas, from Greek pankreas 'all-flesh'). This medical term combines two anatomical components.

Kelly Says

The stomach and pancreas are anatomical neighbors that work together—the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that help break down food the stomach sends onward, making this a critical connection in digestion.
