MeSH Heading: Blood-Nerve Barrier
Tree Number(s): A07.037; A08.800.800.090
Unique ID: D049428
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049428
Scope Note: The barrier between the perineurium of PERIPHERAL NERVES and the endothelium (ENDOTHELIUM, VASCULAR) of endoneurial CAPILLARIES. The perineurium acts as a diffusion barrier, but ion permeability at the blood-nerve barrier is still higher than at the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER.
