How does oxygen get to your brain?
Simplified answer: Oxygenated blood reaches the brain via the Internal Cerebral Artery and the Vertebral Arteries. These vessels have many branches (Posterior, Middle, and Anterior Cerebral Arteries) going to different parts of the brain. Once oxygen reaches the capillary beds of these vessels it diffuses through the capillary walls to supply brain tissue.
What acts as a gatekeeper to certain substances from entering brain tissue?
The blood-brain barrier acts as a gatekeeper to certain substances from entering brain tissue. It is a protective membrane that separates the blood vessels in the brain from the surrounding fluid, preventing the passage of many harmful substances while allowing essential nutrients and oxygen to reach the brain. This barrier helps maintain the delicate balance required for optimal brain functioning.
