Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the concentration of solvents (or solutes) in the blood is too high, the body responds to dilute the blood back to its normal osmolarity. The hypothalamus releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to conserve water by reducing its excretion in urine, effectively making the kidneys excrete less water. This physiological response also triggers an increase in the sense of thirst, prompting the individual to drink more water. Adding water to the blood, either by drinking or through intravenous means in a medical setting, is a direct way to lower the concentration of solvents. All these mechanisms work together to maintain homeostasis.
