What happens to your body when you are thirsty?
A poorly localized area of the hypothalamus called the "thirst center" is stimulated by a dry mouth as well as body dehydration, Projections from the thirst center to the thalamus and then to the conscious cortex inform us that we need water.This triggers the sensation of thirst and initiates the conscious desire for water. The hypothalamus also takes subconscious steps to correct dehydration.
