 Let us move on further clockwise and see this structure here. This structure is the pineal gland. This pineal gland is highly vascularized, it has got fenestriated capillaries and it is filled with cells which are known as pinealocytes, which are also known as epifysial cells. These pineal gland cells, they release melatonin, which is under the stimulus by the suprachiasmatic nucleus here and it releases melatonin. This is also a very important circumventricular organ. It is based by CSF inside by means of this process by this recess of the third ventricle called the pineal recess and this area it releases this melatonin into the third ventricle and from there it travels and it is mediated by trans sites and the trans sites then send the impulses to the hypofysus adenohypofysus. So therefore, this is another important circumventricular organ which is responsible for endocrine control. It acts on the pituitary and also acts on other endocrine glands.
