posterior pancreas

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The ventral duct persists as the main pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) which drains into the duodenum via the ampulla of Vater (major papilla). The dorsal duct becomes the accessory pancreatic duct (duct of Santorini) which drains via the minor (accessory) papilla.
Detailed explanation-2: -A large main duct, the duct of Wirsung, collects pancreatic juice and empties into the duodenum. In many individuals a smaller duct (the duct of Santorini) also empties into the duodenum. Enzymes active in the digestion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein continuously flow from the pancreas through these ducts.
