21. The Blood-Brain Barrier: Astrocytes create tight junctions (barriers) the BBB

22. The blood brain barrier A physical barrier A system of cellular transport Restricts potentially harmful chemicals from the blood, but allows the entrance of essential nutrients. Lipid soluble molecules, such as ethanol and caffeine are able to penetrate through the barrier relatively easily. In contrast, water soluble molecules are unable cross the barrier without specialized carrier- mediated transport mechanisms. The area postrema and the posterior pituitary area are two regions lacking this barrier.
