title: [Development of the neural apparatus of the human pancreas in prenatal ontogeny].
abstract: In human embryos, prefetuses and fetuses from 6 to 40 weeks of development 82 preparations of the pancreas have been studied; 39 series of slices of the human embryos have been impregnated after Bielschowsky-Boeke. For the first time the nerves grow into the pancreas anlage in embryos of 16 mm long (6 weeks). The main sources supplying the pancreas with the nerves in the period studied are nervus vagus, celiac, hepatic, splenic, right adrenal, superior mesenteric and intermesenteric plexuses. Three stages in formation of the innervational apparatus of the pancreas are distinguished during the intrauterine development. The first stage is characterized by beginning of the nerve growing into the pancreas anlage. For the second stage an increased development of the intraorganic innervational apparatus and appearance of the all main sources of the organ's innervation are specific. The third stage is characterized with an increased differentiation of receptor zones in various parts of the pancreas. The development of the pancreatic innervational apparatus by the time of birth is not completed.
