Cells that detect high blood concentration are called:
A
Chemoreceptors
B
Osmoreceptors
C
Thermoreceptors
D
Nociceptors
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Water regulation Changes in osmolality are detected by specialized neurons called osmoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus (Leng et al., 1985).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
