5.  Among the factors that affect drug distribution, the factor that plays the biggest role in determining the concentration of a drug that penetrates the brain by overcoming the blood–brain barrier is:A.  lipid solubility.B.  blood circulation.C.  plasma protein binding.D.  GI absorption rate. 

 An additional lipid barrier, the blood–brain barrier, protects the brain by restricting the passage of electrolytes and other water-soluble substances. Since the brain is composed of a large amount of lipid (nerve membranes and myelin), lipid-soluble drugs pass readily into the brain. As a general rule, then, a drug must have a certain degree of lipid solubility if it is to penetrate this barrier and gain access to the brain.
