(from concavity of the duodenum to the hilum of spleen opposite the level of T12– L3 / L1 vertebrae). ❖ Peritoneum: The greater part is retroperitoneal behind the lesser sac. ❖ Shape: The pancreas is “J”-shaped or RETORT ( )ﻗﻄﺎرةshaped being set obliquely. ❖ Length: 12–15 cm (6-10 inch). ❖ Weight: 60–100 g. The Pancreas Has Both an Exocrine & Endocrine Functions ● Exocrine Secretes into ducts ● ● Endocrine ● Hormones into blood directly ● Makes and secretes digestive enzymes into the intestine (Exocrine pancreas). Comprise more than 95% of the pancreatic mass. Makes and secretes hormones (insulin, glucagon, somatostatin). Control energy metabolism and storage throughout the body (Endocrine pancreas Islets of Langerhans). Comprise 1-2% of pancreatic Mass. Pancreatic Ducts ● ● Main Duct (of Wirsung) ● ● Accessory Duct (of Santorini) Runs the entire length of pancreas beginning from the tail. It drain whole pancreas except upper portion of the head i.e (tail, body, neck, inferior portion of head & uncinate process). Joins common bile duct & together they open into a small hepatopancreatic ampulla (Ampulla of Vater) in 2nd part of the duodenum.. The ampulla opens by a narrow mouth on the summit of major duodenal papilla 8–10 cm distal to the pylorus. ● Drains superior portion of the head. ● It empties separately into 2nd part of duodenum at (minor duodenal papilla) about 2–3 cm above the opening of main pancreatic duct (6–8 cm distal to pylorus). Clinical Anatomy ● ● ● Carcinoma of The Head of Pancreas Acute Pancreatitis ● ● ● ● Is common. It compresses the bile duct leading to persistent obstructive jaundice. May press the portal vein or may involve the stomach due to close vicinity of these structures to the head of pancreas. It’s the acute inflammation of the pancreas. Occurs due to obstruction of pancreatic duct, ingestion of alcohol, viral infections (mumps), or trauma. It’s a serious condition because activated pancreatic enzymes leak into the substance of pancreas and initiates the autodigestion of the gland. Clinically, it presents as very severe pain in the epigastric region radiating to the back, fever, nausea, and vomiting. Parts of Pancreas 1. Head 2. Neck with Uncinate process ● ● ● Head 3. Body with Tuber omentale 4. Tail Enlarged, disc-shaped right end of the pancreas. Lies in the concavity of the C-shaped duodenal loop in front of the L2 vertebra.

(have a predominantly inhibitory effect). from the vagus. (stimulate both exocrine and endocrine secretions). Biliary System ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ It consists of the Ducts and Organs (bile ducts, liver & gallbladder) Involved in the production (liver), storage (gallbladder) & transportation of bile. Bile is secreted by the liver cells at a constant rate of about 40 ml per hour. In between digestion, it is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder; later, it is delivered to the duodenum. Inferior mesenteric vein ﯾﺼﺐ ﻓﻲsplenic vein. When digestion is not taking place, the sphincter of Oddi remains closed and the bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder; later, it is delivered to the duodenum. Bile Duct Consists of (passage) : 1 Bile canaliculi Bile canaliculi is the first portion of bile passage - The smallest tributaries of the bile ducts; situated in the portal canals of the liver. - Receives bile from the hepatocytes. 2 Interlobular ducts - Join one another to form progressively larger ducts and, eventually, at the porta hepatis,form the right and left hepatic ducts. 3 4 Intrahepatic ducts Right & Left hepatic ducts - Right drains the right lobe of the liver. - Left drains the left lobe, the caudate lobe, & quadrate lobe. - After a short course, the hepatic ducts unite to form the common hepatic duct. 5 Common hepatic duct - It’s about 1.5 inches (4 cm) long. - Descends within the free margin of the lesser omentum. - It’s joined on the right side by the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. 6 Cystic duct - The cystic duct is about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long - connects the neck of the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct to form the bile duct. - It is usually somewhat S-shaped and descends for a variable distance in the right free margin of the lesser omentum . - The mucous membrane of the cystic duct is raised to form a spiral fold that is continuous with a similar fold in the neck of the gallbladder. - The fold is commonly known as the “spiral valve”. Which its function is to keep the lumen constantly open. Bile Duct Cont. 7 Common bile duct (Bile duct) - It is about 3 inches (8 cm) long. Course : 1- First it lies in the right free margin of the lesser omentum. 2- Then it runs behind the first part of the duodenum. 3- Lastly it lies in a groove on the posterior surface of the head of the pancreas. (cancer of the head of the pancreas will press on the bile duct which results in blockage of bile passage through it, bile will go back in the opposite direction causing Jaundice) Here, the bile duct comes into contact with the main pancreatic duct 4- Ends below by piercing the medial wall of the second part of the duodenum about halfway down its length. - It is usually joined by the main pancreatic duct, and together they open into a small ampulla in the duodenal wall, called the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater). - The ampulla opens into the lumen of the duodenum by means of a small papilla, the major duodenal papilla. - The terminal parts of both ducts and the ampulla are surrounded by circular muscle, known as the sphincter of the hepatopancreatic ampulla (sphincter of Oddi). - Occasionally, the bile and pancreatic ducts open separately into the duodenum. 438 Note\ Passage of the bile: - In storage : common hepatic duct to cystic duct then gallbladder. - After fatty meal : gallbladder to cystic duct then bile duct. Gallbladder A A pear-shaped sac lying on the undersurface of the liver. B C D It has a capacity of 30 to 50 ml. It stores and concentrates bile. Surface anatomy of the gallbladder: The Fundus comes in contact with the anterior abdominal wall at the level of the Tip of the Right Ninth costal cartilage. Gallbladder Functions Concentrates & stores bile. Selectively absorbs bile salts. Keeps the bile acid. Excretion cholesterol. Secretes mucus. - To aid in these functions, the mucous membrane is thrown into permanent folds that unite with each other, giving the surface a honeycombed appearance. Gallbladder Cont. MCQ It’s Divided Into Fundus Body Neck is rounded and projects below the inferior margin of the liver, it comes in contact with the anterior abdominal wall at the level of the tip of the ninth right costal cartilage. lies in contact with the visceral surface of the liver and is directed upward, backward, and to the left. It becomes continuous with the cystic duct, which turns into the lesser omentum, joins the common hepatic duct, to form the bile duct. This is basically a free question, Never forget it! The Peritoneum completely surrounds the fundus of the gallbladder and binds the body and neck to the visceral surface of the liver. Gallbladder Relations Anterior Posterior Anterior abdominal wall and the inferior surface of the liver. The transverse colon and the first and second parts of the duodenum. Gallbladder Supply Blood supply - Cystic artery, branch of the right hepatic artery. Note: Several very small arteries and veins run between the liver and gallbladder. Venous drainage Lymphatic drainage - The cystic vein drains directly into the portal vein. - The lymph drains into a cystic lymph node situated near the neck of the gallbladder. - From here, the lymph vessels pass to the hepatic nodes along the course of the hepatic artery and then to the celiac nodes. Nerve supply - Sympathetic and parasympathetic vagal fibers form the celiac plexus. Note: The gallbladder contracts in response to the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), which is produced by the mucous membrane of the duodenum on the arrival of fatty food from the stomach. When the bile is secreted by the liver cells, it contains water , salts, and acids, so after it arrives to the gallbladder. which absorbs the water and salts, and keeps the acids unchanged. At the same time its wall secretes mucus and cholesterol. The longer the bile stays in the gallbladder the more it secretes mucus and cholesterol (which may lead to the formation of stones) MCQs Q1.
