Solution:

Osmoreceptors in the body are activated by changes in the blood volume, body fluid volume and ionic concentration. An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate these receptors, which stimulate the hypothalamus to release ADH (Anti Diuretic Hormone) or vasopressin from neurohypophysis (posterior lobe of pituitary).
