The embedded proteins <u>allow specific substances to flow into the cell</u>.The phospholipid bilayer forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartment.They embedded proteins carry the selective transportation of molecules and ensure their is cell to cell recognition.
Answer:
Blood Brain Barrier(BBB)
Explanation:
This is a biological interface of special endothelial cells of astrocytes, pericytes , capillaries, neurons and other structures, acting as a physical barrier or gate separating the Central Nervous system from the peripheral blood circulations. Thus it formed a tight junction serving as a physical barrier to selectively regulate the entrance of substances from the cerebral blood flow into the brain, therefore maintaining homeostasis of the brain.
From above any substances absorbed into the blood stream irrespective of the mode of entry are transported through the BBB, and are selectively regulated to enter the brain cells by the BBB's interactions with the blood vessels, hormones etc.
Basically it allows the passage of nutrients, a few drug, hormones and resists certain toxins and pathogens for the brain homeostasis.
