|---|---|
| pancreatic lymph nodes | Nodes draining the body and tail of the pancreas; they are subdivided into two groups: inferior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici inferiores ), located along the inferior pancreatic artery; superior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici superiores ), located along the splenic artery near the origin of its pancreatic branches. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic neoplasms | <radiology> Adenocarcinoma, most common, usually in pancreatic head, nasty (1-2% survival at 1 yr!), cystic neoplasms, slow-growing, more common in women, isleT-cell tumours, soft-tissue tumours (rare), metastases (breast, lung, melanoma, stomach, colon) (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic notch | A notch separating the uncinate process of the head of the pancreas from the neck. Synonym: incisura pancreatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic plexus | The autonomic plexus that accompanies the pancreatic arteries. Synonym: plexus pancreaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic pseudocyst | Cyst-like space not lined by epithelium and contained within the pancreas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic pseudocysts | <radiology> AETIOLOGY: acute pancreatitis, blunt abdominal trauma, surgery, many occur in absence of any known cause (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic RNase | See: ribonuclease (pancreatic). (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic sphincter | Smooth muscle sphincter of the main pancreatic duct immediately proximal to the hepatoduodenal, ampulla. Synonym: musculus sphincter ductus pancreatici, pancreatic sphincter, sphincter muscle of pancreatic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic steatorrhoea | Steatorrhoea due to the absence of pancreatic juice from the intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic veins | Veins draining the pancreas, emptying into the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein. Synonym: venae pancreaticae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, pancreatic hormone | Cell surface proteins that bind pancreatic hormones with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. These include receptors for glucagon (secreted by alpha cells), insulin (secreted by beta cells), somatostatin (secreted by delta cells), and pancreatic peptide (secreted by pp cells). Some of these hormones and receptors also support neurotransmission. (12 Dec 1998) |
| caudal pancreatic artery | Origin, splenic artery near the left gastroepiploic; distribution, the tail of the pancreas; anastomoses, with other pancreatic arteries. Synonym: arteria caudae pancreatis, caudal pancreatic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ribonuclease (pancreatic) | |
| ribonuclease, pancreatic | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the endonucleolytic cleavage of pancreatic ribonucleic acids to 3'-phosphomono- and oligonucleotides ending in cytidylic or uridylic acids with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate intermediates. Registry number: EC 3.1.27.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
