yes
The blood brain barrier is actually a physical barrier (made of tight junctions of cells/capillaries) that provides a filtering mechanism for the blood carrying stuff to the brain and spinal cord. It only allows certain things to get in and out of the brain and spinal cord.
You're referring to the blood-brain barrier.
yes. that's why it affects your brain so much and so fast. alcohol crosses the barrier and excites GABA which is the body's inhibitor; this is why cognition, motor movement, and memory are all inhibited or impaired.
Neurons are separated from blood-borne substances by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is a highly selective semipermeable barrier formed by specialized endothelial cells in the blood vessels of the brain. These endothelial cells have tight junctions that prevent most substances in the blood from freely crossing into the brain. The BBB allows only certain molecules, such as oxygen and nutrients, to pass through while keeping out potentially harmful substances, like toxins and pathogens.
Insulin does crosses the blood brain barrier. Insulin crosses the blood brain barrier through the process of receptor-mediated transcytosis.
The blood-brain barrier, via the blood stream.
yes
Area postrema doesn't have blood brain barrier
Netilmicin does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

There are meningeal fluids that flow through the brain, and there is a complex webbing of blood vessels known as the blood-brain barrier. The fluids help cushion the brain.
The blood-brain barrier is effective against the passage of ? Metabolic waste such as urea
The blood brain barrier is inhibited in case of inflamed meninges. Probably the injection of histamine may release the blood brain barrier. The expert comment is awaited in this regard.
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is composed of a high concentration of endothelial cells in the brain's capillaries, which help to prevent toxins from passing into the brain from the blood supply.

The blood-brain barrier prevents various substances that could be poisonous to brain tissue (toxins), as well as many agents of infection, from crossing from the blood stream into the brain tissue.
