Cells that detect high blood concentration are called:
|
|
Chemoreceptors
|
|
|
Osmoreceptors
|
|
|
Thermoreceptors
|
|
|
Nociceptors
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Osmoreceptors maintain the osmolality of the blood through a coordinated set of neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavioral feedbacks. These responses aid cellular function by maintaining the osmolar gradient of various ions.
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).
