Detailed explanation-1: -The portion of the ventral duct between the dorsal-ventral fusion and major papilla is termed the duct of Wirsung. The portion of the dorsal duct upstream to the dorsalventral fusion point is called the main pancreatic duct.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main pancreatic duct develops from both pancreatic buds. The distal portion of the main duct develops from the ventral bud, and following bud fusion is named the duct of Wirsung. The duct drains into the common bile duct via the major papilla.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ventral pancreas (arrowhead) encircles the second portion of the duodenum. The duct of the ventral pancreas (arrows) makes a turn around the duodenum and merges with the main dorsal duct in a normal fashion to form the Wirsung duct and drain to the major papilla.
