What dangers does the blood-brain barrier protect the brain from?
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.
How does the nervous system prevent infection?

Which of the following is a protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain?
Blood brain barrier
What following moves sugars?

What prevents many drugs from penetrating the brain?
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). This is actually a good website describing it : http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/bbb.html
What is a protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain?
The blood-brain barrier is a protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain by regulating the passage of substances from the blood into the brain. It prevents harmful substances from entering the brain while allowing essential nutrients to pass through.
Does netilmicin crosses blood brain barrier?
Netilmicin does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

Neuroglial cells that helps form the blood brain barrier?
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a diffusion barrier, which impedes influx of most compounds from blood to brain. Three cellular elements of the brain microvasculature compose the BBB-endothelial cells, astrocyte end-feet, and pericytes (PCs). Tight junctions (TJs), present between the cerebral endothelial cells, form a diffusion barrier, which selectively excludes most blood-borne substances from entering the brain. Astrocytic end-feet tightly ensheath the vessel wall and appear to be critical for the induction and maintenance of the TJ barrier, but astrocytes are not believed to have a barrier function in the mammalian brain.Read more: What_is_the_structure_of_blood_brain_barrier
