Pancreas: Overview
Pancreas
Site: Elongated gland located transversely across the posterior abdominal wall at the level of L1 & L2 vertebrae.
- Extends from the duodenum on the right to the spleen on the left.
- Located in the lower epigastric region.
Parts of the Pancreas
1. Head
- Occupies the concavity of the duodenum.
- Lower left part forms the uncinate process behind the superior mesenteric vessels.
Relations of the Head
Anterior Relations
- Transverse colon
- Superior mesenteric vessels (in front of uncinate process)
Posterior Relations
- Common bile duct
- I.V.C (Inferior Vena Cava)
- Aorta (behind uncinate process)
Neck Relations
2. Neck
- Narrow part connecting head and body.
- Anteriorly: Related to gastro-duodenal junction.
- Posteriorly: Junction of splenic and superior mesenteric vein forming the portal vein.
Body Relations
3. Body
Posterior Relations:
1. Abdominal aorta
2. Superior mesenteric artery (origin)
3. Veins: Splenic vein, Left renal vein
4. Muscles: Left crus of diaphragm, Left psoas major
5. Glands: Left kidney, Left suprarenal gland
Tail Relations
4. Tail
- Passes between layers of lieno-renal ligament with splenic vessels.
Ducts of the Pancreas
Main Pancreatic Duct (Wirsung)
- Begins at the tail, extends to the head.
- Merges with the common bile duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla, opening to the duodenum.
- Sphincter of Oddi controls the duct.
Accessory Pancreatic Duct (Santorini)
- Opens above the main duct into the duodenum at the minor duodenal papilla.
Blood Supply of the Pancreas
Blood Supply
- Splenic artery: Supplies the body & tail.
- Superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries: Supply the head.
Spleen: Overview
Spleen (Lien)
Site: Located in the left hypochondrium, opposite ribs 9, 10, 11, with the long axis parallel to the 10th rib.
- Posterior end lies 1.5 inches from the median plane; anterior end stays within midaxillary line.
Shape of the Spleen
Shape
- Resembles a cupped hand.
- Surfaces: Visceral and diaphragmatic.
- Borders: Upper (notches) and lower.
- Ends: Medial (tapering) and lateral (broad).
Relations of the Spleen
Diaphragmatic Surface
- Smooth and convex, related to the diaphragm, separating it from ribs 9, 10, and 11.
Visceral Surface Impressions
- Hilum: Passage for splenic vessels, lymphatics.
- Impressions: Gastric, renal, pancreatic, and colic.
Peritoneal Relations of the Spleen
Peritoneal Relations
- Completely covered by peritoneum.
- Forms the left lateral extremity of the lesser sac.
- Ligaments:
- Gastrosplenic ligament: Connects hilum to stomach, carries vessels.
- Lieno-renal ligament: Connects hilum to left kidney, contains splenic vessels.
