How will the nervous, endocrine, and urinary systems cooperate to detect and decrease the state of dehydration?
In: Biology
It’s basically a hormone system. The main messenger is vasopressin released by the hypothalamus, the cells there detect the osmolality of your blood and tell the urinary system via the vasopressin release to adjust accordingly. There are specific proteins, the aquaporins, making up the osmoreceptors, which give the hypothalamus cells an idea of the ratio between water and ions in the bloodstream.
