Question

When the body loses water, the body undergoes certain changes in order to maintain homeostasis.
Choose the option that correctly states both A and B.

• A. A- adenohypophysis, B- hypothalamus
• B. A-hypothalamus, B- adenohypophysis
• C. A-osmoreceptors, B- hypothalamus
• D. A-hypothalamus, B-osmoreceptors

Answer 1

The correct option is C A-osmoreceptors, B- hypothalamus

Osmoreceptors are responsible for sensing the increase in ionic concentration and descrease in water concentration. These receptors are located in the hypothalmus.
The hypothalamus stimulates the neurohypophysis to release ADH. This causes the increase in the glomerular filtration rate(GFR).
