Question 7 • Psychology - EL2084

What is the function of the blood-brain barrier?

Answer
A
preventing blood loss during injury
B
regulating blood flow through the brain
C
keeping brain blood separate from body blood
D
keeping foreign particles out of the brain

Explanation

The blood-brain barrier is a selective protective boundary between the blood and brain tissue. It limits many harmful or foreign substances from entering the brain while allowing needed materials through. Therefore, the correct choice is keeping foreign particles out of the brain; it does not simply separate the brain’s blood from the body’s blood.
