  2. Uncinate process of pancreas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncinate_process_of_pancreas

    The isthmus (also called the central pancreas) is the region of the gland that runs anterior to the superior mesenteric artery; by convention, it divides the right and left sides of the pancreas. [2] The ventral pancreatic bud forms the pancreatic head and uncinate process. The glands continue to develop but the duct systems anastomose.

  3. Uncinate process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncinate_process

    An uncinate process is a hook-shaped projection or protuberance from a bone or organ. It may refer to: Uncinate process of ethmoid bone, a process located in the nasal cavity

  4. Uncinate processes of ribs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncinate_processes_of_ribs

    (Uncinate means hooked from Latin uncinatus, from uncinus, barb, from uncus, hook.) They are found in birds (except for screamers), reptiles, and the early amphibian Ichthyostega. [1] These processes can serve to attach scapula muscles, [1] and help to strengthen the rib cage overlapping with the rib behind them.

  5. Uncinate process of ethmoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncinate_process_of...

    In the ethmoid bone, a sickle shaped projection, the uncinate process, projects posteroinferiorly from the ethmoid labyrinth.Between the posterior edge of this process and the anterior surface of the ethmoid bulla, there is a two-dimensional space, resembling a crescent shape.

  6. Ductal cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductal_cells

    The ductal pancreas network originates from the central pancreatic duct—this main duct with the bile duct opens into the duodenum. The ductal cells of the main pancreatic duct are bound by connective tissue and produce a columnar epithelium. [3] Interlobular ducts originate from the main pancreatic duct and connect the various pancreatic lobes.

  7. Pancreatic duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_duct

    The pancreatic duct is generally regarded as abnormally enlarged if being over 3 mm in the head and 2 mm in the body or tail on CT scan. [9] Pancreatic duct or parts of pancreatic duct can be demonstrated on ultrasound in 75 to 85% of people. [10] Pancreatic ductal carcinoma is a common form of pancreatic cancer.

  8. Centroacinar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroacinar_cell

    The exocrine pancreas is one of two compartments that include digestive-acting acinar cells and duct cells.They represent an extension of the intercalated duct into each pancreatic acinus. [1] These cells are commonly known as duct cells , and secrete an aqueous bicarbonate solution under stimulation by the hormone secretin .

  9. Dorsal pancreatic agenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_pancreatic_agenesis

    The absence of pancreatic body and tail is the usual manifestation of dorsal pancreatic agenesis, the density and morphological features of the pancreatic head should be either normal or slightly enlarged due to compensation of the absent body and tail. [4] Stomach/intestine sign can combine with CT for better diagnosis.
