Definition of thirst is the uncomfortable of distressful feeling caused by a desire or need for water or other drink and characterized generally by a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat.
Types of thirst are tow, one is nonregulatory thirst that is dependent on hydration state and the other is nonregulatory thirst that is independent on hydration state.
Regulatory thirst is differentiated intracellular thirst and extracellular thirst.
Intracellular thirst is caused by sodium-osmotic mechanism and exrracellular thirst is caused by volume-controlling mechanism.
As thirst varies in type, origin and physiological process, individuals vary in their sensation of and response to thirst.
