Answer:

The correct answer is -  keeping foreign particles out of the brain

Explanation:

However, including specific gases and nutrients can cross this barrier.

Why should product testing be done on humans instead of animals?
Grace [21]

Animal testing is inhumane and very unnecessary. There are so many different options available, There is no explanation for the poisoning, burning, and killing of about 100 mill animals each year causing them pain & fear. Animals are not little humans, and even tho we share a lot of our genes with other them the way our genes work is different.
