Uberon definition : A duct that collects and carries secretions of the exocrine pancreas to the intestine.;
Uberon synonym : pancreas duct; duct of pancreas;
Uberon Homology note : These data show that ducts within the zebrafish pancreas originally arise in situ
from isolated progenitor cells rather than arising from reiterative branching of the
pancreatic epithelium. This process of pancreatic duct formation in zebrafish may
be analogous to the mechanism of duct formation in the mammalian mammary and salivary
glands. (...) A related mechanism of duct formation has also been proposed to occur
within the mammalian pancreatic epithelium.[uncertain][VHOG];
