Description This is a low magnification image of the pineal gland. You are not responsible for recognizing the cells of the pineal, but you are responsible for recognizing corpora arenacea or Brain Sand which are shown at higher magnification in image 167-25-1. Note: many people ingest melatonin, the product of the pineal, even though in animals like the hamster, melatonin has been shown to inhibit the reproductive system. UCLA Histology Collection.
