 Recent Advances
 Pancreas  derived from the Greek pan, all, and
kreas, flesh, probably referring to the organs
homogenous appearance
 Herophilus, Greek surgeon first described
pancreas.
 Wirsung discovered the pancreatic duct in 1642.
 Pancreas as a Secretory gland was investigated by
Graaf in 1671.
 R. Fitz established pancreatitis as a disease in
1889.
 Whipple performed the first pancreatico-
duodenectomy in 1935 and refined it in 1940.
The pancreas is the organ that we barely remember until
we experience a disease associated with it. So, it is
important to learn about this essential gland that is
located behind the stomach and responsible for
secreting juices that allow to digestion of the food.
 It is one of accessory organ of digestion.
 It is an soft lobulated greyish pinkish gland
 It situated in the upper part of the posterior
abdominal wall extending from duodenum on
right side
 to spleen on the left side
 Lies behind the stomach separated from it by
lesser sac
 Structurally it is an elongated compound and
mixed gland, functionally it has exocrine and
endocrine parts
ANATOMY OF PANCREAS
ANATOMY OF PANCREAS
 Pancreas is an elongated, accessory digestive gland
that lies retroperitoneally
 The pancreas lies more or less horizontally on the
posterior abdominal wall
 It is occupies posterior part of epigastrium and left
hypochondriac region
 It crosses the posterior abdomen wall obliquely
from concavity of the duodenum, to the hilum

Venous drainage:

Superior mesenteric vein
Upper part of head and neck- portal vein

Inf.pan.duo.vein
Sup. Mesentric-vein
Splenic Vein

Vein
 Head and neck - drain in
to ventral and dorsal
group of pancreatico 
duodenal lymph nodes
 Body and tail-drain in to
pancraetico  splenic
lymph nodes
 Efferent vessels of these
nodes terminate into
coeliac and superior
mesenteric group of pre-
aortic lymph node
 Sympathetic nerves are derived from coelic and superior
mesenteric plexus around its arteries
 Parasympathetic nerves are derived from both vagus
nerves
 Sympathetic nerves are vasomotor, parasympathetic
nerves control the pancreatic secretion .
(Exocrine pancreatic secretion are controlled by nerves and
enzymes like Secretin and pancreozymin)
 Its Covered with a very thin layer of
loose connective tissue
 Thin septa arising from capsule and
divide the gland into many lobules.
 Inter lobular connective tissue
contains large ducts, blood vessels
and nerve fibers.
 Interlobular- surrounds the acini &
Islets
 Most of the substance of lobules is
made of exocrine pancreas with
scattered endocrine islets.
 It is the serous gland.
 The exocrine part of the
pancreas is made up of
acinar cell, intralobular
and interlobular ducts.
 Acini are typical serous
acini.
 They are small rounded
cluster of pyramidal cells
with a very small lumen.
 Each cell has a rounded
basal nucleus.
 Supranuclear portion
contains secretory
granules.
 Centroacinar cells. These
are the initial segments of
cuboidal cells of
intercalated ducts
invaginated into the
acinus.
 The cuboidal cells of intercalated ducts are later
replaced by taller cuboidal and eventually
columnar cells more distally.
 The intralobularducts drain into larger
interlobular ducts lined by columnar epithelium
and goblet cells.
 The endocrine part of
pancreas consists of islets or
insulae of Langerhans,
composed of spheroidal or
ellipsoidal cluster of cells.
 The human pancreas may
contain more than a million
islets usually most in the tail.
 The cells of islets are
polyhedral in shape and are
pervaded by fenestrated
capillaries and a rich
autonomic innervation.
 There are 3 types of cells, designated A, B, and D.
 A cells - secretes glucagon
 B cells - secrete insulin
 D cells - secrete somatostatin,
DEVELOPMENT
OF
PANCREAS
The pancreas develops from
2 buds arising from the
endoderm of the caudal
part of foregut :
A ventral pancreatic bud :
which develops from the
proximal end of hepatic
diverticulum (forms the
liver & gall bladder).
A dorsal pancreatic bud :
which develops from dorsal
wall of duodenum slightly
cranial to the ventral bud.
Most of pancreas is derived
from the dorsal pancreatic
bud.
 When the duodenum
rotates to the right
and becomes C-
shaped, the ventral
pancreatic bud moves
dorsally to lie below
and behind the dorsal
bud.
 Later the 2 buds fused
together and lying in
the dorsal mesentery.
 The ventral bud
forms :
 Uncinate process.
 Inferior part of
head of pancreas.
 The dorsal
pancreatic bud
forms :
 Upper part of of
head.
 Neck.
 Body &
 Tail of pancreas.
 The main pancreatic duct is
formed from :
 The duct of the ventral bud.
 The distal part of duct of
dorsal bud.
 The accessory pancreatic duct
is derived from :
 Proximal part of duct of
dorsal bud.
 The parenchyma of pancreas
is derived from the endoderm
of pancreatic buds.
 Pancreatic islets develops
from parenchymatous
pancreatic tissue.
 Insulin secretion begins at 5th
month of pregnancy.

ANATOMY OF PANCREAS
Annular pancreas
 A rare condition where a abnormal ring of
pancreatic tissue that forms a circle around the
duodenum causing partial or complete
obstruction of the duodenum and block or
impair the flow of food to the rest of the
intestines.
Annular pancreas, a ring of pancreas caused by
a failure of the embryologic ventral pancreatic
bud to migrate to the right of the duodenum
Symptoms from annula pancreas
are nausea, vomiting, feeling of fullness after
and feeding problem in newborns
Ectopic pancreas
 It is the detatched portion of Pancreatic tissue
usually uncinate process situated outside the
normal pancreas.
 Ectopic pancreatic tissue can be found in the
Stomach, Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum and
Meckle's diverticulum

CANCER OF PANCREAS
 95% of all cancer tumors start in the head of the
pancreas where the digestive juices are made.
 5% of the cancer tumors start in the tail where
hormones such as insulin are made
Obstruction to bile duct
Leading to-
Obstructive jaundice
Portal vein-Ascitis
Pyrlorus
Of stomach
(Pyloric obstruction)
ANATOMY OF PANCREAS
 The diseased pancreas can cause a LOT of
trouble
 Diabetes:
 In the United States, 25.8 million adults and
children (8.3% of population) have diabetes
 Systemic disease
 Pancreatic cancer  4th most common cause of
cancer-related death, extremely poor prognosis
 Pancreatitis is an emergency situation
