There are four ventricles in the interior of the brain, chambers filled with cerebrospinal fluid
Describe the function of the brain ventricles. which is produced there. Once formed the CSF circulates through the ventricles and into the
subarachnoid space bathing and floating the brain.
The blood-brain barrier is a diffusion barrier which prevents most particles from entering the
central nervous system tissue, keeping the brain and spinal cord separate from general blood
What is the purpose of the blood-brain barrier? Describe its maintenance from a cellular level. circulation. The blood-brain barrier is formed by the relatively impermeable brain capillaries,
due to the glial cells astrocytes. Maintenance of the blood-brain-barrier is important to provide
a stable chemical environment for the nervous system.
