Thirst Sensation And Return To Homeostasis

Thirst sensation is a negative feedback. The sensation of thirst is important for maintain osmoregulation. Osmoregulation is responsible for preventing too much or too little of water in your cells. The osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect when their low or excessive amounts of water in your blood. If you drink when the water amounts are low, this will increase the amount of blood water content and return to homeostasis. If you do not have the thirst sensation and do not drink, this will decrease the amount of blood water content and return to homeostasis. However, there are alternatives for both.
