Secondary receptors of Osmoreceptors in the mouth detect low volume and
the thirst mechanism increase concentration of saliva
Integrating center Hypothalamic thirst center
1) Stimulation of water-seeking behaviors through the
Stimulation of the thirst cerebral cortex
center causes... 2) Increased water conservation by the kidneys,
through ADH from the posterior pituitary
Moistening of oral osmoreceptors (inhibits
Temporary cessation of
hypothalamic thirst center only as long as the mouth
thirst
remains moist)
Return to normal plasma osmolarity (strongly inhibits
Long term cessation of
thirst center; as long as plasma osmolarity remains
thirst
normal, thirst is fully inhibited)
Cannot fix dehydration; only reduces water loss
Renal response (reduces filtrate formation and increases water
absorption from the urine)
Hypothalamic Plasma osmolarity < 280 mOsm strongly inhibits thirst
compensations for by quieting receptor neurons
overhydration
Renal Response Increase water loss in urine by increasing filtrate
compensations for formation and inhibiting water absorption from the
overhydration urine

Homeostasis performance of a system under a given set of
conditions
When conditions of homeostatic set points change to maintain the optimal
homeostasis change... performance of the system

Feedback loops maintain a physiological system within a given range
of function
