The pancreas develops from two buds that emerge from the duodenum of the foregut, an embryonic tube that serves as a predecessor to the gastrointestinal system. It is endodermal in origin. The creation of a dorsal and ventral pancreatic bud is the first step in pancreatic development. The endoderm gives rise to the pancreas and other gastrointestinal organs. In the uterus, the pancreas is created by the confluence of two distinct pancreatic ducts, the dorsal and ventral. Around embryonic day, the dorsal pancreatic bud initially emerges.
