osmoreceptor
An osmoreceptor is a sensory receptor primarily found in the hypothalamus region of the brain that detects changes in osmotic pressure or the concentration of solutes in a biological organism's bodily fluids. It helps in the regulation and maintenance of the body's fluid balance. These receptors are crucial to processes such as thirst sensation and release of antidiuretic hormone.
