Anatomy ofthe Pancreas
The pancreas is a unique exocrine and endocrine organ located in the retroperitoneal region of the upper abdominal cavity. In humans, when fully formed, the organ has a distinct head, body, and tail, with the head of the pancreas contacting the duodenal region of the intes­tines (the main pancreatic duct drains into the duode­num) and the tail of the pancreas abutting the spleen. The greatest mass of the organ is present in the head, which is composed of tissue derived from two independ­ent anlagen (see later). In other mammals, such as dogs and mice, the organ has a far less distinct structure and is identified as an amorphous pink tissue adjacent to the mesentery that runs along the upper intestinal wall.
The cells of the pancreas are arranged into distinct lobules composed primarily of the digestive enzyme­producing cells of the exocrine pancreas, which are arranged into acini (so- called acinar cells), the ductal structures that conduct these digestive enzymes to the intestines, and distinct clusters of endocrine cells, the islets of Langerhans, that secrete hormones and function to regulate glucose uptake and release and serum glucose levels. There are five recognized cell types within the islets, the α, β, δ, ε, and PP cells, which produce the hor­mones glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, ghrelin, and pan­creatic polypeptide, respectively. The majority of the pancreatic tissue mass (more than 90–95%) is present within the exocrine compartment of the organ, with the islets of Langerhans, scattered throughout the tissue. The pancreas also has connective tissue, derived from the embryonic mesenchyme, which forms the septa that separate the many lobules of the organ. Mesenchyme­derived stromal cells are also present in the interlobular regions surrounding the pancreatic ducts, blood vessels,
and nerves. In the following sections, we explore how these disparate cell types come together to form the pancreas.
Organogenesis inthe Region ofthe Pancreas
Around day 14, the embryonic bilaminar germ disk is composed of a layer of epiblast and a layer of hypoblast. At this time, a faint groove appears along the longitudi­nal midline of the germ disk that develops into a struc­ture called the primitive streak [1]. Around day 15, epiblast cells near the primitive streak undergo a mor­phologic change and migrate through the primitive streak into the space between the epiblast and hypoblast in a process known as gastrulation (Fig.1.1). Some of the ingressing epiblast cells invade the hypoblast, which is eventually replaced by a new layer of epiblast- derived cells known as the definitive endoderm. Additional migrating epiblast cells occupy the space between the epiblast and the definitive endoderm to form a third layer of cells called the intraembryonic mesoderm (Fig.1.1). As cells of the germinal disk migrate anteriorly to form a head process and lateral regions roll under­neath to form an approximately cylindrical body shape, the endoderm is rolled into a tube that projects into the developing head region of the embryo surrounded by themesoderm layer. This is the primitive digestive tube. The pancreas is specified by two separate outgrowths that arise on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the primi­tive digestive tube. The epithelial cells of the pancreas originate from the interior lining of the primitive gut tube, which consists of a single layer of endoderm. A layer of mesenchyme, from which the muscle and

connective tissue of the gastrointestinal organs are derived, surrounds the endoderm.
The anterior regions of the endoderm form the fore­gut; regions posterior to the foregut form the midgut and hindgut. The most anterior regions of the foregut give rise to the esophagus and stomach. Just posterior to the foregut, the endoderm is continuous with the yolk sac, which extends outside the embryo, in a region known as the anterior intestinal portal. Endodermally derived cells close to the anterior intestinal portal specify the pan­creas. The duodenum and liver are also specified by fore­gut endoderm in this region.
Thus, many gastrointestinal tissues are specified at the same time from a fairly restricted region of the gut endo­derm. How are each of these organs specified in the appropriate anatomic location, and how do they differ­entiate properly into mature functional organs? The epi­thelial organs of the developing embryo originate as buds from the endoderm as the appropriate temporal and spa­tial cues are received. Thus, proper initiation and loca­tion of endodermally derived organs are regulated by the activation status of important signal transduction path­ways involved in animal development, including the hedgehog, Notch, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathways.

and differentiate independently, but later fuse to form a single organ. The anlage on the dorsal side, the dorsal pancreatic bud, appears first and gives rise to the dorsal pancreas. The cells of the dorsal pancreas will give rise to the head, body, and tail of the mature pancreas. The sec­ond pancreatic anlage appears shortly after the appear­ance of the dorsal pancreatic bud. This bud, which appears on the ventral side of the gut tube, is appropri­ately called the ventral pancreatic bud and develops into the ventral pancreas, which forms part of the head of the pancreas. Both pancreatic buds develop simultaneously, and the proliferating epithelial cells grow as projections into the surrounding mesenchymal tissue. During this time, the development of the intestines, and importantly the duodenum, continues. Rotation and asymmetric growth of the duodenum move the originally ventral part to a dorsal location, carrying with it the ventral pancreas and the primordial common bile duct. As the duodenum begins to rotate into its appropriate anatomic location, the ventral pancreas also rotates around the gut tube such that the ventral and dorsal pancreata lie adjacent to each other. These pancreatic rudiments then fuse to form a single organ. While both developing pancreatic buds independently form pancreatic ducts, the lumens of which are continuous with the lumen of the primitive gut, after they fuse their primary ducts anastomose to form the main pancreatic duct (Fig.1.2). The region of
