Difference between Blood–brain barrier and Cerebral edema

Blood–brain barrier vs. Cerebral edema

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebral edema is excess accumulation of fluid in the intracellular or extracellular spaces of the brain.

Similarities between Blood–brain barrier and Cerebral edema

Blood–brain barrier and Cerebral edema have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bradykinin, Brain, Capillary, Cerebrospinal fluid, Endothelium, Glucose, Hypoxia (medical), Mannitol, Meningitis, Metabolism, Tight junction, Ventricular system.

Bradykinin

Bradykinin is an inflammatory mediator.

Capillary

A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (µm) in diameter, and having a wall one endothelial cell thick.

Cerebrospinal fluid

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord.

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Mannitol

Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol which is also used as a medication.

Meningitis

Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges.

Metabolism

Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms.

Tight junction

Tight junctions, also known as occluding junctions or zonulae occludentes (singular, zonula occludens) are multiprotein junctional complex whose general function is to prevent leakage of transported solutes and water and seals the paracellular pathway.

Ventricular system

The ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities (ventricles) in the brain, where the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced.
