Osmoreceptor Water Blood Person Dehydrated Cell Volume Decreases

During dehydration, the blood's water potential decreases, causing water to move out of the osmoreceptor cells into the blood via osmosis, resulting in a decrease in cell volume.

Wanneer een persoon gedehydrateerd is, neemt het celvolume van een osmoreceptor af. Leg uit waarom (2 punten)
