Term
Ampulla of Vater
Definition
dilation in the second portion of the duodenum, where the CBD and pancreatic duct enter to discharge substances that aid in the digestive process
Term
beta cells

gastroduodenal artery
Definition
1st branch of the CHA. coursed=s along the anterolateral aspect of teh pancreas head just right lateral to the pancreas neck. supplies blood to the head of the pancreas and the duodenum
Term
glucagon
Definition
hormone produced by alpha cells in the pancreas that causes the release of glucose to meet the immediate energy needs of the body
Term
insulin
Definition
hormone produced by alpha cells in the pancreas that causes the release of glucose to meet the immediate energy needs of he body
Term
Isles of Langerhans
Definition
groups of alpha , beta and delta endocrine cells in the pancreas that produce insulin
Term
Pancreatic arcades
Definition
vascular connections between the pancreaticoduodenal, hepatic, splenic, and SMA that supply blood to the head of the pancrea
Term
pancreatic body
Definition
bordered right laterally by the pancreas neck left laterally by the pancreas tail, anterior by the posterior wall of the stomach, and posteriorly by the splenic vein. considered the largest portion of the pancreas***
Term
pancreatic head
Definition
lies right lateral to the SMV , cradled in the C-loop of the duodenum, directly anterior to the inferior vena cava
Term
pancreatic juice
Definition
composed of enzymes produced by acini cells in the pancreas that help digest fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Term
pancreatic neck
Definition
situated between the pancreatic head and body immediately anterior to the SMV . At a slightly higher level, it lies anterior tot he portal splenic confluence
Term
pancreatic splenic artery
Definition
sectio of the artery located within the pancreas
Term
pancreatic tail
Definition
left lateral to the pancreas body and aorta and extends to the hilum of the spleen. Stiuated between the stomach anteriorly and left kidney posteriorly . The splenic vein runs along its posteriosuperior surface. May lie higher, lower on an even level with the body
Term
pancreaticdoudenal arteries
Definition
arteries that supply the head of the pancreas and part of the duodenum with blood. part of the pancreatic arcades
Term
portal splenic confluence
Definition
area just posterior to the neck of the pancreas , where the splenic vein meets the superior mesenteric vein. Together, these veins form the portal vein.
Term
portal vein
Definition
formed by the confluence of the splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein just posterior to the neck of the pancreas
Term
prehilar splenic artery
Definition
section of the artery before it enters the hilum of the spleen
Term
prepancreatic splenic artery
Definition
section of the artery before it leaves the pancrease
Term
somotostatin

Definition
MUSCLE SURROUNDING TH AMPULLA OF vATER THAT CONTROLS THE FLOW OF PANCREATIC JUICE FORM THE PANCREAS AND BILE FROM THE BILIARY TRACT INTO THE DUODENUM
Term
splenic artery
Definition
supplies the body and tail of the pancreas with blood. from its origin at the celiac axis. it runs along the superior edge of the pancreas body and tail parallel to the splenic vein
Term
superior mesenteric vein
Definition
along with tributaries of the splenic vein, serves as venous drainage for the pancreas
Term
suprapancreatic splenic artery
Definition
1st cm section of the artery as it originates from the celiac axis
Term
uncinate process
Definition
posteromedial projection of the pancreas head that lies directly posterior to the superior mestenteric vein and directly anterior to the inferior vena cava or in some cases, due to its , the abdominal aorta
Term
