GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmolality of body fluids is monitored by hypothalamic osmoreceptors, which regulate both water intake (thirst) and renal conservation of water through adjustments in the rate of ADH secretion (see Chapter 9).

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmoreceptors are sensory receptors that detect changes in osmotic pressure and contribute to maintaining fluid balance in the body. They are primarily found in the hypothalamus and kidneys.

Detailed explanation-3: -The water concentration of the body is monitored by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which detect the concentration of electrolytes in the extracellular fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -An osmoreceptor is a sensory receptor that detects changes in osmotic pressure and is primarily found in the hypothalamus of most homeothermic organisms.
