The Pancreas is a long gland, of irregular prismatic shape ;its external secretion is conveyed to the duodenum -by the canalor duct of Wirsung, which runs along the entire length of thegland, buried in its substance. Its size and weight differ consider-ably in different individuals. It is 12-13 cm. long, with amaximum diameter of 12-25 mm. According to Krause, it weighs66-102 grins., but Meckel gives a maximum weight of 180 grins.,and Sommering a minimal weight of 45 grins. Its specific gravityis 1-046. From its structure the pancreas must be regarded as anacino-tubular gland, resembling the salivary glands, but with. fc?A: Ip^ /^ rfev S•:•-H / X> •&i@j$:g$rl i^J- ... ^£#.$3. r *yi>™
