What classification of receptors detect changes in water potential in the blood
|
|
Thermoreceptors
|
|
|
Proprioceptors
|
|
|
Photoreceptors
|
|
|
Osmoreceptors
|
Explanation:
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: -Magnocellular oxytocin and vasopressin neurons are osmoreceptors. Verney demonstrated that osmoreceptors controlling vasopressin secretion and hence water excretion are located in the brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main sensors that are involved in control of water balance in the body are: Osmoreceptors. Volume receptors (low pressure baroreceptors) High pressure baroreceptors.
