AB  - In  the  fourth  week  of  gestation,  the  human  pancreas  develops  as  2  outpouchings  of  the  duodenal  endoderm.  The  larger  dorsal  bud  develops  into  the  tail,  body,  and  a  portion  of  the  head  of  the  pancreas.  The  ventral  bud  fuses  with  the  dorsal  bud  at  about  the  17th  week  of  gestation  to  create  the  remainder  of  the  head  of  the  pancreas  and  the  uncinate  process.  Each  bud  possesses  its  own  ductal  system;  variations  in  fusion,  which  occur  in  15%  of  the  population,  lead  to  developmental  anomalies.  These  anatomic  anomalies  of  the  pancreas  may  be  normal  variants  or  result  in  symptomatic  pathologic  disease.
