blood-brain and blood-CSF barriers (BBB & BCSFB) Explanation: It would be unwise to provide a thorough explanation in regards to a topic that is very much out of my current "comfort-zone" so I shall let the references speak for themselves: a) "The central nervous system (CNS) is tightly sealed from the changeable milieu of blood by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (BCSFB). While the BBB is considered to be localized at the level of the endothelial cells within CNS microvessels, the BCSFB is established by choroid plexus epithelial cells." [Ref #2] b) "O sistema nervoso central (SNC) é uma zona privilegiada, que normalmente é protegido por três elementos estruturais: a BHE com a interface entre o encéfalo e os vasos sanguíneos; a barreira sangue - liquido cefalorraquidiano (BSLCR), formada pelo plexo coróide e a membrana aracnóide com os vasos sanguíneos e o líquido cefalorraquidiano;" [http://www.scielo.br/pdf/rbti/v23n2/a16v23n2.pdf] c) "Barreira hematoencefálica (BHE) é uma estrutura de permeabilidade altamente seletiva que protege o Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) de substâncias potencialmente neurotóxicas presentes no sangue e sendo essencial para função metabólica normal do cérebro. É composta de células endoteliais estreitamente unidas, astrócitos, pericitos e diversas proteínas. Barreira hematoliquórica: entre o sangue e o liquor. Há junções de oclusão no epitélio do plexo corioideo, que impede a passagem do liquor produzido para o sangue."
