Name the organs located anteriorly from the abdominal part of the aorta? inferior vena cava: the pancreas; the root of the mesentery of the small intestine; the duodenum.

The correct answer is: the pancreas.<br /><br />The pancreas is located anteriorly from the abdominal part of the aorta. The inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart and is located posterior to the abdominal aorta. The root of the mesentery of the small intestine and the duodenum are parts of the digestive system and are not directly anterior to the abdominal aorta.
