Early morphogensis and cytodifferentiation of mouse embryonic pancreas have been investigated. The organ forms as a broad-based diverticulum whose base narrows to form the duct. A crescent of cells, believed to be involved in morphogenesis, is found in each lateral wall of the gut. Changes of the crescents with time and the ultrastructure of cells in them is discussed. A model is presented to explain elevation of the pancreatic diverticulum which depends upon (1) alteration in crescent cell cross-sectional shape and (2) upon some relative movement of cells out of the crescent region.Low levels of endocrine and exocrine cell-specific product can first be detected as this morphogenetic process starts (Rutteret al., 1968). Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and various vesicles are seen in presumed exocrine cells at these times, but no prozymogen granules have been found. Prospective B-cells can first be identified by increased cytoplasmic electron density; soon thereafter β-granules appear. These correlations of structure are discussed in light of the biochemical information. All told, the data suggest a close temporal linkage between initial specific synthesis and initial organ morphogenesis.
