Male Duodenum Pancreas I

Description

A 3D model showing the male duodenum and pancreas together, highlighting their intimate anatomical relationship. The duodenal C-loop wraps around the head of the pancreas, and the main pancreatic duct (of Wirsung) joins the common bile duct at the hepatopancreatic ampulla (of Vater) on the medial duodenal wall. The pancreatic head is inseparable from the duodenum without dividing shared blood supply from the pancreaticoduodenal arteries. The uncinate process of the pancreas hooks behind the superior mesenteric vessels. The body and tail of the pancreas extend leftward toward the splenic hilum. The duodenal-pancreatic relationship is central to hepatobiliary surgery, particularly the Whipple procedure. The model suits surgical education, gastroenterology training, and anatomy courses.
