Blood-brain barrier
substances enter the extra-cellular fluid of the brain The endothelial cells of the capillaries within the CNS are held together by tight junctions which limit the diffusional exchange of water and water-soluble substances. The barrier is permeable to respiratory gases (O2 and CO2) , glucose and fat soluble drugs as volatile anaesthetics.
