The  blood–brain barrier allows the passage of water, some gases, and lipophylic molecules by passive diffusion, as well as the selective transport of molecules such as glucose and amino acids that are crucial to neural function. It is a highly selective semipermeable border that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system. The blood–brain barrier is formed by endothelial cells of the capillary wall and ………………………….end-feet.
