Sense water levels.
Osmoreceptors are specialized cells that detect changes in the concentration of solutes in the blood. They are located in the hypothalamus of the brain and play a crucial role in regulating thirst and maintaining fluid balance in the body. When osmoreceptors sense an increase in blood osmolality, they signal the brain to increase thirst and conserve water.
Osmoreceptors are specialized nerve cells located in the hypothalamus region of the brain. They are responsible for detecting changes in blood osmolarity and play a crucial role in regulating fluid balance in the body.
Your osmoreceptors regulate your thirst in attempt to keep you properly hydrated.

osmoreceptors
Osmoreceptors are specialized cells that detect changes in osmotic pressure in the body, which helps regulate fluid balance. When osmoreceptors sense an increase in blood osmolality (concentration of solutes), they signal the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland. ADH acts on the kidneys to decrease water loss and increase water reabsorption, helping to maintain proper fluid balance in the body.

Hypothalamus. These osmoreceptors help to maintain the body's water balance by monitoring the blood's concentration of solutes. When blood osmolality rises, these receptors stimulate the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to conserve water by promoting water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Its role is to change mechanical energy into electrical energy.
