Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmoreceptors depolarize when they shrink in response to increased plasma osmolarity. This is because an increase in plasma osmolarity means there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell, causing water to move out of the osmoreceptor cells, leading them to shrink and depolarize.
