[Blood vessels of the pancreatic islets in different portions of the adult human pancreas].
The pancreatic islets and their blood vessels have been studied in the head, the body and the tail of the human pancreas. The following methods have been applied: injection, histological and quantitative estimation, graphic and plastic reconstruction. A rather great variability in the form of the pancreatic islets has been stated, with presence of one--two peculiar processes in large islets. In different parts of the pancreatic gland, relative volume of the endocrine parenchyma has been stated to be statistically greater (2.16 +/- 0.45%) in the caudal portion than in the head of the gland (1.31 +/- 0.26%). In every pancreatic islet an afferent arterial vessel is described, two types of its branching are determined: magistral and scattered. Relative volume of the pancreatic islets and morpho-functional coefficient reflecting the ratio of the capillary surface area to the volume of the islet capillaries in different parts of the pancreatic gland have been estimated.
