TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Pancreas A1 - Wells, Robert G. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children AB - Development of the pancreas begins with the formation of 2 anlagen from the embryonic foregut. One arises from the dorsal aspect of the gut and the other from the ventral aspect. The dorsal anlage is initially located opposite to the hepatobiliary diverticulum. The ventral anlage arises from the duodenum at the caudal margin of the hepatobiliary diverticulum. The ventral anlage has right and left buds; the left bud normally regresses. There is progressive rotation of the ventral pancreas around the duodenum until it contacts and fuses with the dorsal segment. The common bile duct migrates with the ventral pancreas. The ventral pancreas forms the uncinate process and a portion of the head of the pancreas; the remainder of the pancreas derives from the dorsal anlage.
