Pancreas Anatomy: Development and Vascularization

This lecture covers the anatomy of the pancreas, including its different parts such as the head, isthmus, body, and tail. It explains the development of the pancreas from ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds, highlighting the formation of the main and accessory pancreatic ducts. The lecture also discusses variations in the uncinate process and the relationship of the pancreas with surrounding blood vessels. Furthermore, it explores the anatomy of the duodenum, focusing on the major and minor duodenal papillae, sphincters, and the hepatopancreatic ampulla. The vascularization of the pancreas and duodenum is detailed, emphasizing the arterial blood supply from branches of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery.
