Describe the role of the choroid plexus in the blood-brain barrier?

The choroid plexus is in contact with the cells lining the ventricles, which helps in the formation of cerebrospinal fluid. The capillaries of the choroid plexus differ significantly from those found elsewhere in the body. As a result, drugs carried in the bloodstream may not effectively penetrate brain tissue. This phenomenon is referred to as the blood-brain barrier. In short, the choroid plexus helps create the barrier, as it is through it's capillaries that the barrier is formed.
