THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmoreceptors are sensory receptors in the thirst center in the hypothalamus that monitor the concentration of solutes (osmolality) of the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The hypothalamus detects changes within the body and coordinates responses by stimulating the release of hormones from organs and glands. These pathways enable the hypothalamus to regulate a series of processes within the body.
