What structure in your body most resembles a pinecone?
  1. Pineal gland
  2. Testicle
  3. Spleen
  4. Coniferous
Explanation
Answer: A - The pineal gland gets its name because it is shaped like a pinecone.
It is active in children, but atrophies as we become adults. It is believed that the ‘third eye’ is the pineal gland, as it actually has a lens similar to the eyeball. Strangely enough, it is responsive to light.
