PHYSIOLOGY OF PROTECTION
• The complex functions of the brain are dependent on
homeostatic mechanisms that regulate the ionic
composition of the interstitial fluid
• This homeostasis is maintained by two cellular barriers:
the BBB and the brain-CSF barrier (BCSFB)
• These barriers :
– protect the brain from abrupt changes in blood biochemistry
– allowing delivery of nutrients and removal of metabolites
– protect the CNS from invasion by microbes that may be
present within the blood
BBB : a DEFENSIVE STRUCTURE
• The CNS is sequestered from the systemic circulation
by the blood-brain barrier (BBB)
• At the anatomic level, the BBB refers to two different
but connected structures:
– a barrier between blood and brain in cerebral capillaries
– a barrier between blood and CSF in choroid plexus
• The former is formed by intercellular tight junctions
between brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC).
• The BMEC layer is supported by astrocytes, pericytes
and the basement membrane
BMEC MECHANISMS OF PROTECTION
The BMEC differs from the
fenestrated peripheral endothelium
in two important aspects
