So in this topic, let's move on
to the pancreas and the spleen.
00:06
So let's first of all start off
by having a look at the location
of both the pancreas and spleen
within the abdomen.
00:13
So here we can see the pancreas
which is kind of like a
hockey stick in shape.
00:17
We can see that
the curve of the pancreas.
00:20
We can see here
as an the uncinate process.
00:23
And then,
it has a very much larger head
which sits in the
concavity of the duodenum.
00:28
So here, we've got the
pancreas sitting across
the major blood vessels
of the abdomen, the aorta,
and the inferior vena cava.
00:35
We've got the head.
We've got the uncinate process
which really looks like
the head of a hockey stick
that's curved over on itself within
the concavity of the duodenum.
00:45
The head then moves across
to the left of the abdomen
as it heads towards the spleen,
as a neck, the body,
and then the tail.
00:53
And we have the tail
of the pancreas
situated really within
the hilum of the spleen.
00:58
And we'll look at that
in a moment or two.
01:01
But you can see also travels across
the anterior surface of the kidney
over on the left hand side.
01:06
So a brief overview of the pancreas
within the human abdomen.
01:12
So now, let's have
a look at the position
of the pancreas
within the abdomen.
01:16
So we've got a
familiar picture here.
01:18
And we can see the liver,
the duodenum.
01:20
We can see a bit of the gallbladder,
and we've got the inferior ribs.
01:24
We can remind ourselves of
the head of the pancreas here.
01:27
And we can see that
duodenal curve,
the concavity of the second, third,
and fourth parts of the duodenum.
01:35
Here we can see the neck
which is very much in the midline,
and it's situated around the
second, and first lumbar vertebrae.
01:42
The first, and second
lumbar vertebrae.
01:44
We can see the position
of the neck of the pancreas.
01:48
The body and tail
then ran along
the posterior abdominal wall
going over the kidney.
01:53
And then, the tail goes or sits
within the hilum of the spleen.
01:57
If we were to introduce
this line here,
this is the transpyloric plane.
02:01
And that's the region
where the pylorus of the stomach
is situated anterior
to the neck of the pancreas.
The lecture Surface Anatomy of the Pancreas by James Pickering, PhD is from the course Anatomy of the Pancreas and Spleen.
Which statement describes the relationship of the uncinate process with the head of the pancreas?
Which surface of the pancreas does the root of the transverse mesocolon run along?
Which statement regarding the pancreas is inaccurate?
