Which part of the duodenum does the bile duct enter?
2nd portion of the duodenum
What does the uncinate process lie in front of and behind?
Behind superior mesenteric vessels
In front of the aorta and IVC
What part of the pancreas is the site of passage of the superior mesenteric vessles?
The neck
The neck of the pancreas lies directly over the
Portal vein
The body of the pancreas lies
To the left of the superior mesenteric vessels
Over the aorta and L1/L2
The posterior surface of the body of the pancreas is in contact with

What is the largest part of the pancreas?
Body
The tail of the pancreas passes between

The main pancreatic duct is also known as
The Duct of Wirsung
Main pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct at
The hepatopancreatic ampulla of Vater which opens at major duodenal papilla
The Main pancreatic duct (Duct of Wirsung) starts at __ and ends at ___
Starts at tail of pancreas and runs to the head
The minor pancreatic duct is also known as
The duct of Santorini
Where does the minor pancreatic duct empty
Minor duodenal papilla
Where/how do the major and minor duodenal papilla lie?
In the 2nd part of the duodenum (descending part) with the minor papilla lying superior to the major papilla
What is the normal anatomy of the Duct of Wirsung and the Duct of Santorini?
The common bile duct comes into the second portion of the duodenum and the major duct will ALWAYS join the common bile duct, no matter what the variation
Blood supply to the pancreas- which connect the splenic artery to the inferior pancreatic artery
Caudal (closest to spleen)
Great pancreatic
Dorsal pancreatic (closest do duodenum)
The head and the tail of the pancreas have ___ blood supplies
Different
Embryology of the pancreas- dorsal bud and ventral bud become
Dorsal bud gives rise to the duct of Santorini and becomes the body and tail of the pancreas
Ventral bud gives rise to duct of Wirsung and becomes head and uncinate process
__ bud connects directly to the common bile duct
Ventral
Ventral bud comes from the
Hepatic diverticulum
