Describe the stimuli and receptors that induce volumetric thirst

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Answer: The detectors are located within the kidney – these are sensitive to blood flow. Upon activation, these cells secrete renin, which starts a sequence of catalytic events relating to angiotensin, which in turn initiates drinking and consumption of salt. Evaporation will reduce the plasma compartment, leading to volumetric thirst. Other hypovolemic stimuli are loss of blood, vomiting, or diarrhea.
