MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Changes in osmolality are detected by specialized neurons called osmoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus (Leng et al., 1985).

Detailed explanation-2: -An osmoreceptor is a sensory receptor, primarily found in the hypothalamus of most homeothermic organisms, that detects changes in osmotic pressure. Osmoreceptors detect changes in plasma osmolarity (ie. concentration of solutes dissolved in the blood).

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus controls the mechanisms of ADH secretion, either by regulating blood volume or the concentration of water in the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is detected by special nerve cells in the hypothalamus (osmoreceptors) which simulate anti-diuretic hormone release from the pituitary. .
