What is the thin barrier that allows for the efficient exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood called?
The blood brain barrier
What does the Blood Brain Brarrier do?
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.
How are neurons kept separated from blood borne substances?
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.
When was Brain of Blood created?
Brain of Blood was created in 1972.
What organ in the human body uses 40 percent of the oxygen in your blood?

An anastomosis that allows communication between the posterior and anterior blood supplies of the brain?
The Circle of Willis.
Why does the brain have a semi permeable brain?
The semi permeable membrane is called the blood brain barrier. It allows smaller molecules such as oxygen to enter the brain, and also protects the brain by preventing larger molecules such as toxins to enter.
What has the author A V Palladin written?
A. V. Palladin has written: 'Protein metabolism of the brain' -- subject- s -: Brain chemistry, Metabolism, Proteins
What is the radiographic technique used to provide information about brain metabolism?
FDG- PET scanning is a technique that can provide information about brain metabolism. Another technique for such imaging is SPECT.

What is the organ that controls all the other organs?
The endocrine system controls other organs. The pituitary gland in the brain controls growth, blood pressure, pain relief, water retention, metabolism of food, temperature regulation, and sex organ functions. Another gland in the brain that is part of the same system is the pineal gland. It regulates melatonin and sleep. The thyroid gland is in your throat and controls metabolism by stimulating oxygen in the blood, protein synthesis and bone contruction. Other endocrine glands are the parathyroid, ovaries, testes, pancreas, and adrenal glands.
When was Brain of Blood created?

Why are there blood vessels around the brain?
The blood vessels around the brain help supply energy for your brain
