D) organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT) is located in the anterior part of the third ventricle and is known as the primary location for osmoreceptor cells in the brain. Osmoreceptors are specialized cells that respond to changes in the concentration of electrolytes and water in the blood, and are responsible for regulating water balance in the body. The other identified regions of the hypothalamus (POA, posterior, and lateral) are not specifically associated with osmoreceptor function.
