OPENINGS IN
SECOND PART OF DUODENUM
.1Common
opening of bile
duct & main
pancreatic duct:
on summit of
major duodenal
papilla.
.2Opening of
accessory
pancreatic duct
(one inch
higher): on
summit of minor
duodenal papilla.

Structures opening in the 2

Structures opening in the
2
nd
part of the duodenum
The bile duct unites with the
pancreatic duct forming a
dilatation called the
hepatopancreatic ampulla
(ampulla of Vater).
The ampulla opens on an
elevation called the major
duodenal papilla.
The accessory pancreatic
duct opens one-inch above
the major duodenal papilla,
forming a smaller elevation
called the minor duodenal
papilla.

Blood Supply & Lymph drainage
Because the duodenum is
derived from both: Foregut &
Midgut,
It has its Arterial Supply from
:
Celiac & Superior mesenteric
arteries.
Venous Drainage to :
Superior mesenteric& Portal
veins.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE:
Celiac & Superior mesenteric
lymph nodes.
•Blood supply of the duodenum
•The superior pancreaticoduodenal
artery arises from the
gastroduodenalartery
•inferior pacreaticoduodenalartery
originates as the first branch of the
superior mesenteric artery.
•These vessels both lie in the curve
between the duodenum and the head
of the pancreas,

Coeliac Trunk
•The primitive gut tube can be
divided into foregut, midgut, and
hindgut regions.
•The foregut is supplied by the
celiac trunk.
•The midgutis supplied by the
superior mesenteric artery .
•The hindgut is supplied by the
inferior mesenteric artery .
•The three anterior branches
supply the gastrointestinal
viscera:
•the celiac trunk
•superior mesenteric artey
•inferior mesenteric artery
•The celiac
trunk Arises
from the
abdominal
aorta anterior
to the upper
part of vertebra
LI. It divides
into:
•Gastric
•Splenic
•Common
hepatic
arteries
•The common hepatic artery divides
into its two terminal branches,
•the hepatic artery proper and divides
into the i.righthepatic artery
ii.lefthepatic artery
•gastroduodenalartery:
•right gastro-epiploic(omental
)artery
•superior pancreaticoduodenalartery
•The splenicartery takes a tortuous
course to the left along the superior
border of the pancreas .
•The splenicartery gives off
•short gastric arteries
•left gastro-epiploicartery
•Theleft gastric artery:
•The left gastric arterysupplies the
lesser curvature of the stomach and
anastomoseswith the right gastric
artery.
•eophagealbranches(anastomose
with esophagealbranches from the
thoracic aorta).
