Description: A definition, classifications, pathophysiology and treatment of cerebral edema.
The cerebral capillary is the site of the BBB. Interendothelial tight junctions impede the passage of electron-dense markers. Cerebral capillaries lack fenestrations and have tight junctions. They are active in the process of pinocytosis. All these features regulate the passage of highly polar hydrophilic molecules allowing virtually unrestricted passage of lipid-soluble substances. Cerebral capillaries have 2-4X the number of mitochondria as other capillaries. Cerebral capillaries have an array of important enzymes: ATPase, dehydrogenase, monamine oxidase, DOPA decarboxylase, acid and alkaline phosphatase, NAD and others. BBB has both central (cholinergic and aminergic) and peripheral (sympathetic and parasympathetic) innervation.
