A schematic cross-section of a brain capillary shows the blood–brain barrier (BBB) within the neurovascular unit. In neuroanatomy and physiology, endothelial cells with tight junctions line the vascular lumen containing erythrocytes, while abluminal basement membrane and surrounding astrocyte endfeet restrict paracellular diffusion. This anatomical structure, located in central nervous system (CNS) microvasculature, regulates selective transport of solutes and maintains neural homeostasis. The depiction represents cells within tissue hierarchy: endothelium and glia forming a capillary wall.
