For example, eating chocolate has been linked with release of serotonin in the brain. Science has shown that the pineal gland contains pinealocytes, a group of cells that bear a strong resemblance to the photoreceptors of the eye.
Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct.The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are neuroendocrine organs.Local chemical messengers, not generally considered part of the endocrine system, include autocrines, which act on the cells that secrete them, and paracrines, which act on a different cell type nearby.he hypothalamus and pituitary gland are neuroendocrine organs.
