Blood Brain Barrier

In this video, Dr Mike explains the 3 main layers of the blood brain barrier (and its accessory structures), these include;
- Endothelia with tight junctions
- Basement membrane (basal lamina) with pericytes and macrophages
- Astrocytes with their polarised feet

I just wanted to say thanks to you I did really well on my first anatomy exam, your explanations are very thorough and as a visual learner I really appreciate all the drawings 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[evangelinamoralesmunoz]

Thank you very much for this short, simple but explicit video.

[edahphiri]

Thank you so much, Sir. Please make a tutorial on the classification of nerves too...🙏🙏🙏

[kanwalasad]

Dr Mike please do a video on lesions of visual pathway .

[OceansCindy]

You are having way too much fun with those markers lol. Great video!

[chiquelemon]

this was great! Explained so much and done so simply, thanks :)

Hi Dr Mike, how can I find out where the video's you have already made? Find you really direct and probably going to join.

[jcoronet]

very informative thank you.

so the macrophages must be special ones that don't release cytokines?

If the pericytes are sensors that contract to keep stuff out; does that mean that if my blood is full of "not good stuff" they will contract and allow less of everything (including oxygen) to the neurons? or are they more selective than that? Is that why "huffing paint" gets you high?

hey great video i have a quick query. whats the difference between the blood brain barrier and the cerebrospinal fluid barrier? do they have the same function? I thought the the CSF and intersitial fluid were the same

[duckwack]

Is it the pericytes that perform phagocytosis, or is it both the pericyte AND macrophages?

[inassakr]

Your videos are amazing. Is there any video about blood types and lymph ? Thanks

[anewhaf]

Some said they had the cv test up the nose. The pain went down there spine and in the eyes area . There still in pain.

[shawnastiles]

So what does it mean when you have a blood brain barrier breach?

[randybostic]

And now we know nanoparticles can transverse the barrier.

Can it be damaged if I stuck something deeply through the nose

Dont you guys already have a video about the bbb?
