No, the pineal gland and the pituitary gland are not the same. The pituitary gland is located below the hypothalamus connected to it by the infundibulum. The pituitary is responsible for the secretion of oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, thyroid- stimulating hormone, prolactin, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and growth hormone. In contrast, the pineal gland is part of the epithalamus attached to the third ventricle. Cells of the pineal gland convert serotonin to melatonin which helps regulate the body's circadian rhythms.
