How does the hypothalamus monitor water in the body?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is a part of the brain which controls many important functions of the body by producing hormones.

When the amount of water gets reduced in the blood, it leads to a change in the osmolarity which can be easily detected by the osmorecpetors present in the neurons of the hypothalamus.

In response, neurons secrete Anti-diuretic hormone in the blood which acts in the tubules of the kidney where they help in re-absorption of the water from the body.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
