Given below are two statements.

Statement I  :  Osmoreceptors are present in the hypothalamus of the human brain. 

Statement II : Osmoreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood volume, body fluid volume and ionic concentration. 

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Osmoreceptors are specialised cells located in the hypothalamus of the brain. They play a crucial role in sensing changes in the concentration of solutes (such as ions and molecules) in the blood and surrounding fluids.

Osmoreceptors are sensitive to changes in blood volume, body fluid volume, and ionic concentration. They respond to alterations in the osmotic pressure of the blood and extracellular fluid, helping to regulate fluid balance, electrolyte balance, and osmotic equilibrium in the body.
