Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thirst that arises when the intracellular fluid/water falls below a homeostatic level, needing replenishment, is referred to as osmometric thirst. This type of thirst is triggered by an increase in the osmolarity of the interstitial fluid relative to the intracellular fluid, leading to water moving out of cells to balance the concentration, which in turn signals the body's need for water intake.
