Pancreas & duodenum
Product code: HP1508
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The pancreas and duodenum are intimately related viscera with digestive and endocrine functions. The classic ‘hockey-stick’ shape of the pancreas, C-shape of the duodenum, and the mostly retroperitoneal position of both organs, relate directly to their embryological development. The pancreas has key endocrine and exocrine roles, hence its large size: it is supplied by and related to numerous large vessels. This Silicone Plastinate provides uninterrupted views of the four parts of the duodenum and the pancreas.
