Answer to Question 1

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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The fluid contained within the cytoplasm of cells comprises the intracellular compartment. In contrast, the extracellular fluid includes the intravascular fluid (blood plasma), the cerebrospinal fluid, and the interstitial fluid (located between cells). The intracellular compartment comprises two-thirds of the body's water.
