The CSF will circulate through the ventricle and the subarachnoid space. This floats the brain and protects it from hitting the skull. 3. What is the purpose of the blood -brain barrier? Describe its maintenance from a cellular level. The bloo d-brain barrier is a diffusion barrier which prevents most particles from entering the central nervous system tissue, keeping the brain and spinal cord separate from general blood circulation. The blood0brain barrier is formed by the relatively impermeable brain capillaries, due to glial cells astrocytes.
