Secretin, cholecystokinin, gastric inhibitory peptide, moitlin.
Gastrin= Stimulates the gastric glands to secrete Pepsinogen and HCL. 
Secretin= signals the secretion of sodium biocarbonateb in the pancreas and stimulates bike secretion in the liver. 
Cholecystokinin = stimulates the releases of digestive enzymes. 
GIP= decreases stomach churning 
Motilin= stimulates production of pepsin

The pineal gland, also known as the pineal body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. The shape of the gland resembles a pine cone, hence its name. The pineal gland is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. The pineal gland produces melatonin, a serotoninderived hormone which modulates sleep patterns in both circadian and seasonal cycles.
