Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dorsal pancreatic bud forms the upper head, body, and tail of the pancreas. The ventral bud forms the inferior head and uncinate process. When both pancreatic buds fuse, the pancreatic duct system starts to establish.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ventral pancreatic duct further fuses with the dorsal pancreatic duct to form the duct of Wirsung or main pancreatic duct, which later joins the common bile duct and drains into major papilla. The majority of normal pancreas drains through this main pancreatic duct.
