Thirst
In the hypothalamus, the hormone responsible for initiating the feedback mechanism is gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). In the pituitary gland, the hormones involved are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
The major stimulus for the thirst mechanism is dehydration, which is when there is a decrease in fluid volume within the body. When the body detects dehydration, it signals the brain to activate the thirst mechanism, prompting the individual to drink fluids to restore proper hydration levels.
electrolyte balance
The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, hunger and thirst, and the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
The body's thirst mechanism is primarily located in the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that regulates various bodily functions including thirst and hydration. When the body's fluid levels drop, sensors in the hypothalamus detect this change and signal the body to feel thirsty to encourage fluid intake.
Hypothalamus
mainly by feedback mechanism
The endocrine system is involved in the production and release of hormones.
The thirst mechanism is primarily stimulated by an increase in the concentration of solutes in the blood, which is sensed by specialized cells in the brain known as osmoreceptors. When the blood becomes more concentrated, these osmoreceptors signal the brain to trigger the sensation of thirst, prompting you to drink fluids to restore the body's balance.
