Development of Pancreas

Pancreatic Buds

• Two buds: ventral and dorsal
• Ventral Pancreatic Bud:
  • Develops with the common hepatic bud (for liver and bile duct)
• Dorsal Pancreatic Bud:
  • Develops directly from the duodenum

Fusion and Rotation

• Following rotation, the ventral pancreatic bud rotates and fuses with the dorsal pancreatic bud
• Forms the uncinate process of the pancreas
• Ducts anastomose:
  • Duct of the ventral bud -> main pancreatic duct
  • Duct of the dorsal bud -> accessory pancreatic duct
• Bile duct opens into the main pancreatic duct -> major duodenal papilla

Congenital Anomalies

• Annular Pancreas:
  • Pancreas forms a ring around the second part of the duodenum
• Ectopic Pancreatic Tissue:
  • Can be present in the duodenum, stomach wall, small intestine, and Meckel's diverticulum

This is a summary of the development of the pancreas.
