Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thirst caused by a reduction in the volume of fluids between body cells is known as extracellular thirst. This type of thirst is triggered by low blood volume or a decrease in osmotic pressure in the extracellular fluid. Intracellular thirst refers to a need for water within the cells, while hypothalamic thirst is triggered by a response in the hypothalamus to various stimuli. Homeostatic thirst is the overall maintenance of fluid balance within the body.
