Chapter 19, Problem 10RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term melatonin with the most closely related description given below:
Unknown function
Stimulates milk production
Regulated by hormones
Pineal gland
Norepinephrine release
Decreases water loss
Lymphocyte maturation
Stimulates estrogen secretion
Produces releasing hormone
Viscous fluid with stored hormones
Introduction:
The pineal gland consists of two types of cells (1) pinealocytes and (2) interstitial cells. It is a part of epithalamus of CNS. Melatonin, a hormone is derived from the molecules of serotonin (a type of neurotransmitter), and secreted by the pinealocytes.
